Subject: [PATCH net-next] eth: fbnic: fix memory corruption in fbnic_tlv_attr_get_string()
Date: Fri, 7 Mar 2025 12:28:48 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2791d4be-ade4-4e50-9b12-33307d8410f6@stanley.mountain> (raw)

This code is trying to ensure that the last byte of the buffer is a NUL
terminator.  However, the problem is that attr->value[] is an array of
__le32, not char, so it zeroes out 4 bytes way beyond the end of the
buffer.  Cast the buffer to char to address this.

Fixes: e5cf5107c9e4 ("eth: fbnic: Update fbnic_tlv_attr_get_string() to work like nla_strscpy()")
