Some debugfs write functions call kstrto* functions, which assume the string is null-terminated. Make it valid by changing ieee80211_if_write() to use static buffer instead of allocating one, and set the last char to NULL. (The write functions try to parse some integer/mac address, so 64 bytes buffer should be enough) Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller <eliad@xxxxxxxxxx> --- net/mac80211/debugfs_netdev.c | 13 +++++-------- 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/mac80211/debugfs_netdev.c b/net/mac80211/debugfs_netdev.c index f6de8a6..ef5cf26 100644 --- a/net/mac80211/debugfs_netdev.c +++ b/net/mac80211/debugfs_netdev.c @@ -49,16 +49,15 @@ static ssize_t ieee80211_if_write( size_t count, loff_t *ppos, ssize_t (*write)(struct ieee80211_sub_if_data *, const char *, int)) { - u8 *buf; + char buf[64]; ssize_t ret; - buf = kmalloc(count, GFP_KERNEL); - if (!buf) - return -ENOMEM; + if (count >= sizeof(buf)) + return -E2BIG; - ret = -EFAULT; if (copy_from_user(buf, userbuf, count)) - goto freebuf; + return -EFAULT; + buf[count] = '\0'; ret = -ENODEV; rtnl_lock(); @@ -66,8 +65,6 @@ static ssize_t ieee80211_if_write( ret = (*write)(sdata, buf, count); rtnl_unlock(); -freebuf: - kfree(buf); return ret; } -- 1.7.6.401.g6a319 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
