Subject: [PATCH] net: tehuti: don't process data if it has not been copied from userspace
Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2017 18:46:59 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170719174659.22646-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>
The array data is only populated with valid information from userspace
if cmd != SIOCDEVPRIVATE, other cases the array contains garbage on
the stack. The subsequent switch statement acts on a subcommand in
data[0] which could be any garbage value if cmd is SIOCDEVPRIVATE which
seems incorrect to me. Instead, just return EOPNOTSUPP for the case
where cmd == SIOCDEVPRIVATE to avoid this issue.
As a side note, I suspect that the original intention of the code
was for this ioctl to work just for cmd == SIOCDEVPRIVATE (and the
current logic is reversed). However, I don't wont to change the current
semantics in case any userspace code relies on this existing behaviour.
