The .x25_addr[] address comes from the user and is not necessarily NUL terminated. This leads to a couple problems. The first problem is that the strlen() in x25_bind() can read beyond the end of the buffer. The second problem is more subtle and could result in memory corruption. The call tree is: x25_connect() --> x25_write_internal() --> x25_addr_aton() The .x25_addr[] buffers are copied to the "addresses" buffer from x25_write_internal() so it will lead to stack corruption. Verify that the strings are NUL terminated and return -EINVAL if they are not. Reported-by: "kiyin(尹亮)" <kiyin@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> --- The first patch put a NUL terminator on the end of the string and this patch returns an error instead.
