[PATCH v3] airo: Fix read overflows sending packets

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

 



The problem is that we always copy a minimum of ETH_ZLEN (60) bytes from
skb->data even when skb->len is less than ETH_ZLEN so it leads to a read
overflow.

The fix is to pad skb->data to at least ETH_ZLEN bytes.

v2: remove an unnecessary if statement
    increment the ->tx_dropped count on failure
    fix found two more instances of the same bug.
    fix typo in the "Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>" tag
v3: I had thought that skb_padto() updated skb->len so that it would
    always be more than ETH_ZLEN meaning that we could delete the checks
    for smaller values:  "len = skb->len < ETH_ZLEN ? ETH_ZLEN : skb->len;"
    But I was wrong and those are still required.
