Subject: [iproute PATCH v4 5/6] tc/m_xt: Fix for potential string buffer overflows
Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2017 11:51:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170824095150.5469-6-phil@nwl.cc> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170824095150.5469-1-phil@nwl.cc>
- Use strncpy() when writing to target->t->u.user.name and make sure the
final byte remains untouched (xtables_calloc() set it to zero).
- 'tname' length sanitization was completely wrong: If it's length
exceeded the 16 bytes available in 'k', passing a length value of 16
to strncpy() would overwrite the previously NULL'ed 'k[15]'. Also, the
sanitization has to happen if 'tname' is exactly 16 bytes long as
well.
