[PATCH] staging: rtl8723bs: Check for NULL header value

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When building with -Warray-bounds, the following warning is emitted:

In file included from ./include/linux/string.h:253,
                 from ./arch/x86/include/asm/page_32.h:22,

                 from ./drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/include/drv_types.h:17,
                 from drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_recv.c:7:
In function 'memcpy',
    inlined from 'wlanhdr_to_ethhdr' at drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_recv.c:1554:2:
./include/linux/fortify-string.h:41:33: warning: '__builtin_memcpy' offset [0, 5] is out of the bounds [0, 0] [-Warray-bounds]
   41 | #define __underlying_memcpy     __builtin_memcpy
      |                                 ^

This is because the compiler sees it is possible for "ptr" to be a NULL
value, and concludes that it has zero size and attempts to copy to it
would overflow. Instead, detect the NULL return and error out early.
