Subject: [PATCH v3] staging: r8188eu: Use strndup_user instead of kmalloc/copy_from_user
Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2021 17:25:58 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211213092558.77624-1-jiapeng.chong@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
This code assumes that the user is going to give us a NUL terminated
string which is not necessarily true.
Fix following coccicheck warning:
./drivers/staging/r8188eu/os_dep/ioctl_linux.c:4253:8-15: WARNING
opportunity for memdup_user.
Reported-by: Abaci Robot <abaci@linux.alibaba.com>
Fixes: 2b42bd58b321 ("staging: r8188eu: introduce new os_dep dir for RTL8188eu driver")
