Currently an open firmware property is copied into partition_name variable without keeping a room for \0. Later one, this variable (partition_name), which is 97 bytes long, is strncpyed into ibmvcsci_host_data->madapter_info->partition_name, which is 96 bytes long, possibly truncating it 'again' and removing the \0. This patch simply decreases the partition name to 96 and just copy using strlcpy() which guarantees that the string is \0 terminated. I think there is no issue if this there is a truncation in this very first copy, i.e, when the open firmware property is read and copied into the driver for the very first time; This issue also causes the following warning on GCC 8: drivers/scsi/ibmvscsi/ibmvscsi.c:281:2: warning: ‘strncpy’ output may be truncated copying 96 bytes from a string of length 96 [-Wstringop-truncation] ... inlined from ‘ibmvscsi_probe’ at drivers/scsi/ibmvscsi/ibmvscsi.c:2221:7: drivers/scsi/ibmvscsi/ibmvscsi.c:265:3: warning: ‘strncpy’ specified bound 97 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation] CC: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@xxxxxxx> CC: Tyrel Datwyler <tyreld@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao <leitao@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/scsi/ibmvscsi/ibmvscsi.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/scsi/ibmvscsi/ibmvscsi.c b/drivers/scsi/ibmvscsi/ibmvscsi.c index 17df76f0be3c..67a2c844e30d 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/ibmvscsi/ibmvscsi.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/ibmvscsi/ibmvscsi.c @@ -93,7 +93,7 @@ static int max_requests = IBMVSCSI_MAX_REQUESTS_DEFAULT; static int max_events = IBMVSCSI_MAX_REQUESTS_DEFAULT + 2; static int fast_fail = 1; static int client_reserve = 1; -static char partition_name[97] = "UNKNOWN"; +static char partition_name[96] = "UNKNOWN"; static unsigned int partition_number = -1; static LIST_HEAD(ibmvscsi_head); @@ -262,7 +262,7 @@ static void gather_partition_info(void) ppartition_name = of_get_property(of_root, "ibm,partition-name", NULL); if (ppartition_name) - strncpy(partition_name, ppartition_name, + strlcpy(partition_name, ppartition_name, sizeof(partition_name)); p_number_ptr = of_get_property(of_root, "ibm,partition-no", NULL); if (p_number_ptr) -- 2.16.3
