This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled r8152: Avoid memcpy() over-reading of ETH_SS_STATS to the 4.19-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: r8152-avoid-memcpy-over-reading-of-eth_ss_stats.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit cdb94e845edfd57e5a590c2bd5b1a80172ed12f3 Author: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jun 16 12:53:03 2021 -0700 r8152: Avoid memcpy() over-reading of ETH_SS_STATS [ Upstream commit 99718abdc00e86e4f286dd836408e2834886c16e ] In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time field bounds checking for memcpy(), memmove(), and memset(), avoid intentionally reading across neighboring array fields. The memcpy() is copying the entire structure, not just the first array. Adjust the source argument so the compiler can do appropriate bounds checking.
