Hello S390 devs, This is ancient, and CAP_SYSADMIN but it's probably simple to fix. The patch 52898025cf7d: "[S390] dasd: security and PSF update patch for EMC CKD ioctl" from Mar 8, 2010, leads to the following static checker warning: drivers/s390/block/dasd_eckd.c:4486 dasd_symm_io() error: using offset into zero size array 'psf_data[]' drivers/s390/block/dasd_eckd.c 4458 /* Copy parms from caller */ 4459 rc = -EFAULT; 4460 if (copy_from_user(&usrparm, argp, sizeof(usrparm))) ^^^^^^^ The user can specifiy any "usrparm.psf_data_len". They choose zero by mistake. 4461 goto out; 4462 if (is_compat_task()) { 4463 /* Make sure pointers are sane even on 31 bit. */ 4464 rc = -EINVAL; 4465 if ((usrparm.psf_data >> 32) != 0) 4466 goto out; 4467 if ((usrparm.rssd_result >> 32) != 0) 4468 goto out; 4469 usrparm.psf_data &= 0x7fffffffULL; 4470 usrparm.rssd_result &= 0x7fffffffULL; 4471 } 4472 /* alloc I/O data area */ 4473 psf_data = kzalloc(usrparm.psf_data_len, GFP_KERNEL | GFP_DMA); 4474 rssd_result = kzalloc(usrparm.rssd_result_len, GFP_KERNEL | GFP_DMA); 4475 if (!psf_data || !rssd_result) { kzalloc() returns a ZERO_SIZE_PTR (0x16). 4476 rc = -ENOMEM; 4477 goto out_free; 4478 } 4479 4480 /* get syscall header from user space */ 4481 rc = -EFAULT; 4482 if (copy_from_user(psf_data, 4483 (void __user *)(unsigned long) usrparm.psf_data, 4484 usrparm.psf_data_len)) That all works great. 4485 goto out_free; 4486 psf0 = psf_data[0]; 4487 psf1 = psf_data[1]; But now we're assuming that "->psf_data_len" was at least 2 bytes and who knows what other assumptions there are about the length? 4488 4489 /* setup CCWs for PSF + RSSD */ 4490 cqr = dasd_smalloc_request(DASD_ECKD_MAGIC, 2, 0, device, NULL); 4491 if (IS_ERR(cqr)) { 4492 DBF_DEV_EVENT(DBF_WARNING, device, "%s", 4493 "Could not allocate initialization request"); 4494 rc = PTR_ERR(cqr); 4495 goto out_free; 4496 } regards, dan carpenter
