Hello Pavel Shilovsky, The patch b42bf88828cd: "CIFS: Implement follow_link for SMB2" from Aug 14, 2013, leads to the following static checker warning: fs/cifs/smb2pdu.c:1408 SMB2_open() warn: potentially allocating too little. 77 vs 4 fs/cifs/smb2pdu.c 1402 rc = SendReceive2(xid, ses, iov, num_iovecs, &resp_buftype, 0); 1403 rsp = (struct smb2_create_rsp *)iov[0].iov_base; 1404 1405 if (rc != 0) { 1406 cifs_stats_fail_inc(tcon, SMB2_CREATE_HE); 1407 if (err_buf) 1408 *err_buf = kmemdup(rsp, get_rfc1002_length(rsp) + 4, I'm not an expert, but these look like it might be controlled from user space. How do we know that get_rfc1002_length() returns something large enough? 1409 GFP_KERNEL); 1410 goto creat_exit; 1411 } 1412 regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
