[PATCH v3] iio: dac: ad3552r-hs: fix scnprintf() buffer bound in data source show
Posted by Babanpreet Singh 6 days, 9 hours ago
ad3552r_hs_show_data_source_avail() formats the available data source
names into a 128-byte stack buffer, but bounds each scnprintf() with
PAGE_SIZE instead of the buffer size, so the bound does not protect
the destination at all.

This cannot overflow today - dbgfs_attr_source[] has two entries,
"normal" and "ramp-16bit", 18 bytes formatted - but the bound stops
protecting the stack the day the table grows. Use sizeof(buf) so the
bound matches the destination.

Found by smatch:

  drivers/iio/dac/ad3552r-hs.c:593 ad3552r_hs_show_data_source_avail()
  error: scnprintf() 'buf[len]' too small (128 vs 4096)

Fixes: b1c5d68ea66e ("iio: dac: ad3552r-hs: add support for internal ramp")

v3:
 - Return to the v1 fix: bound scnprintf() with sizeof(buf) instead
   of switching to sysfs_emit_at(). As Andy noticed in the v2 review,
   this is a custom debugfs read handler formatting a kernel buffer
   for simple_read_from_buffer(), not a sysfs show callback, so
   sysfs_emit_at() does not apply here:

 - Dropped Suggested-by and restored the v1 title; the diff is
   identical to v1.

Applied to the fixes-togreg branch of iio.git and marked for stable.
