[PATCH v3] Bluetooth: btmtk: Fix null pointer when processing coredump
Posted by Chris Lu 2 years, 7 months ago 
There may be a potential null pointer risk if offset value is
less than 0 when doing memcmp in btmtk_process_coredump().
Checking offset is valid before doing memcmp.

Use imperative mood: Check offset …

For `sizeof()` shouldn’t you use `size_t`? But that is unsigned of 
course. Maybe ssize_t then?

Why not keep it like before, and just add the condition `skb->len < 
sizeof(MTK_COREDUMP_END)`? The compiler is probably going to optimize so 
the value is not calculated twice.


Kind regards,

Paul

Dear Paul,

Thanks for your review and feedback to Mediatek's Bluetooth driver
code.

yes, it's better to use ssize_t or size_t, I'll change declaratins of
offset from int to ssize_t.

The reason why I send this patch is when I backport devcoredump feature
to specific project with older kernel version, the compiler might not
so optimized that it would cause kernel panic when run into memcmp.
As a result, make sure `skb->len > sizeof(MTK_COREDUMP_END) ` before
doing memcmp part can avoid null pointer issue.
Besides, only in condition 'data->cd_info.cnt > MTK_COREDUMP_NUM &&
offset > 0' need to do memcmp to check the end of coredump. Driver do
noting with condition `skb->len < sizeof(MTK_COREDUMP_END) ` that
additional condiction is not really necessary.

Just to avoid misunderstandings, my point, to add the comparison and get 
rid of the variable `offset`.
