Hello! This is an experimental automated report about issues detected by Coverity from a scan of next-20191031 as part of the linux-next weekly scan project: https://scan.coverity.com/projects/linux-next-weekly-scan You're getting this email because you were associated with the identified lines of code (noted below) that were touched by recent commits: 068893b7a28f ("iwlwifi: dbg_ini: support domain changing via debugfs") Coverity reported the following: *** CID 1487394: Insecure data handling (TAINTED_SCALAR) /drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/fw/debugfs.c: 355 in _iwl_dbgfs_fw_dbg_domain_write() 349 size_t size, char *buf) 350 { 351 return scnprintf(buf, size, "0x%08x\n", 352 fwrt->trans->dbg.domains_bitmap); 353 } 354 vvv CID 1487394: Insecure data handling (TAINTED_SCALAR) vvv Passing tainted variable "buf" to a tainted sink. 355 FWRT_DEBUGFS_READ_WRITE_FILE_OPS(fw_dbg_domain, 20); 356 357 void iwl_fwrt_dbgfs_register(struct iwl_fw_runtime *fwrt, 358 struct dentry *dbgfs_dir) 359 { 360 INIT_DELAYED_WORK(&fwrt->timestamp.wk, iwl_fw_timestamp_marker_wk); 361 FWRT_DEBUGFS_ADD_FILE(timestamp_marker, dbgfs_dir, 0200); 362 FWRT_DEBUGFS_ADD_FILE(send_hcmd, dbgfs_dir, 0200); 363 FWRT_DEBUGFS_ADD_FILE(fw_dbg_domain, dbgfs_dir, 0600); If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first): Reported-by: coverity-bot <keescook+coverity-bot@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1487394 ("Insecure data handling") Fixes: 068893b7a28f ("iwlwifi: dbg_ini: support domain changing via debugfs") Thanks for your attention! -- Coverity-bot
