Smatch complains that the "add_bytes" is not to be trusted. Use size_add() to prevent an integer overflow. Fixes: be71b5cba2e6 ("fs/ntfs3: Add attrib operations") Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> --- The add_bytes variable comes from: add = ALIGN(struct_size(ea_all, name, 1 + name_len + val_size), 4); This is problematic and has inspired a new static checker warning: fs/ntfs3/xattr.c:26 unpacked_ea_size() warn: using integer overflow function 'size_add()' for math fs/ntfs3/xattr.c:290 ntfs_set_ea() warn: using integer overflow function 'size_add()' for math The issue is that the struct_size() has an integer overflow and we call ALIGN() on it, then "add" becomes zero. Is there a bounds check that we could use here? add = struct_size(ea_all, name, 1 + name_len + val_size); if (add > SOMETHING_MAX) return -EINVAL; Otherwise the limit would have to be if (add > ULONG_MAX - 3) { which is ugly. fs/ntfs3/xattr.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/fs/ntfs3/xattr.c b/fs/ntfs3/xattr.c index 7de8718c68a9..ea582b4fe1d9 100644 --- a/fs/ntfs3/xattr.c +++ b/fs/ntfs3/xattr.c @@ -107,7 +107,7 @@ static int ntfs_read_ea(struct ntfs_inode *ni, struct EA_FULL **ea, return -EFBIG; /* Allocate memory for packed Ea. */ - ea_p = kmalloc(size + add_bytes, GFP_NOFS); + ea_p = kmalloc(size_add(size, add_bytes), GFP_NOFS); if (!ea_p) return -ENOMEM; -- 2.35.1
