Things like this: > --- a/drivers/scsi/scsi_ioctl.c > 182 +++ b/drivers/scsi/scsi_ioctl.c > 183 @@ -170,7 +170,8 @@ static int scsi_ioctl_get_pci(struct scs > 184 > 185 if (!dev) > 186 return -ENXIO; > 187 > - return copy_to_user(arg, dev->bus_id, sizeof(dev->bus_id))? -EFAULT: 0; > 188 + return copy_to_user(arg, > 189 > + dev_name(dev), strlen(dev_name(dev)))? -EFAULT: 0; > 190 } Give cause for concern: in the original, we know we scribble over 20 bytes of user space. With the new one we scribble over an unknown number (which could potentially be much greater than 20). That's an accident waiting to happen in userspace.
