Good catch. There's always something new to find) > In any case that particular example can't possibly overflow. Practically in this example, I agree. But nevertheless, ideologically, a pointer to the buffer is passed to the function, but its size is not passed. This may cause an overflow error when making changes in the code. Yes, the lengths of %12phN and PAGE_SIZE are very different at the moment. But what happens if both of these numbers change unpredictably in future changes? > David > > > > > Signed-off-by: Viacheslav Bocharov <adeep@xxxxxxxxx> > > --- > > drivers/firmware/meson/meson_sm.c | 2 +- > > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > > > diff --git a/drivers/firmware/meson/meson_sm.c b/drivers/firmware/meson/meson_sm.c > > index ed60f1103053..c1c694b485ee 100644 > > --- a/drivers/firmware/meson/meson_sm.c > > +++ b/drivers/firmware/meson/meson_sm.c > > @@ -265,7 +265,7 @@ static ssize_t serial_show(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr, > > return ret; > > } > > > > - ret = sprintf(buf, "%12phN\n", &id_buf[SM_CHIP_ID_OFFSET]); > > + ret = scnprintf(buf, PAGE_SIZE, "%12phN\n", &id_buf[SM_CHIP_ID_OFFSET]); > > > > kfree(id_buf); > > > > -- > > 2.34.1 > > - > Registered Address Lakeside, Bramley Road, Mount Farm, Milton Keynes, MK1 1PT, UK > Registration No: 1397386 (Wales) > > > _______________________________________________ > linux-amlogic mailing list > linux-amlogic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-amlogic
