[PATCH next] nvdimm: Prevent integer overflow in ramdax_get_config_data()
Posted by Dan Carpenter 6 days, 9 hours ago
The "cmd->in_offset" variable comes from the user via the __nd_ioctl()
function.  The problem is that the "cmd->in_offset + cmd->in_length"
addition could have an integer wrapping issue if cmd->in_offset is close
to UINT_MAX .  The "cmd->in_length" variable has been capped, but the
"cmd->in_offset" variable has not.  Both of these variables are type u32.

Does ramdax_set_config_data() also need this?  I'm not quite following
where in_length is capped so I'm inclined to add size_add in both set and
get.

Yes.  It does.  These are from Smatch warnings, right.  They take a few
rebuilds for the taint information to propagate from the ioctl to the
ramdax_get_config_data() function.  When I rebuilt it, then it propagates
to both so I would have seen the ramdax_set_config_data() tomorrow.

But they're called from the same function so the taint data should
have propagated to both at the same time...  WTF?  I don't know what
happened.  Anyway, I will fix that and resend.

Thanks for noticing.

I meant that the  if (struct_size(cmd, in_buf, cmd->in_length) > buf_len)
line checks that cmd->in_length is okay.
