Subject: re: firewire net, ipv4 arp: Extend hardware address and remove driver-level packet inspection.
Date: Tue, 2 Apr 2013 09:36:41 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130402063641.GB4826@longonot.mountain> (raw)

Hello YOSHIFUJI Hideaki / 吉藤英明,

The patch 6752c8db8e0c: "firewire net, ipv4 arp: Extend hardware 
address and remove driver-level packet inspection." from Mar 25, 
2013, leads to the following warning:
"drivers/firewire/net.c:278 fwnet_header_parse()
	 error: memcpy() 'haddr' too small (8 vs 16)"

drivers/firewire/net.c
   276  static int fwnet_header_parse(const struct sk_buff *skb, unsigned char *haddr)
   277  {
   278          memcpy(haddr, skb->dev->dev_addr, FWNET_ALEN);
                                                  ^^^^^^^^^^
We bumped this to 16 bytes and made the fwnet_header and fwnet_hwaddr
structs bigger.  But according to Smatch this is still an 8 byte buffer
here.  Either phw.hw_addr or sll->sll_addr.

The call tree would be:
-> packet_rcv()
   -> dev_parse_header()
      -> fwnet_header_parse()

   279  
   280          return FWNET_ALEN;
   281  }
   282  

regards,
dan carpenter
