If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit f526102db940a94b68ca4311f1004bb5e6f55db5 Author: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jun 16 12:53:59 2021 -0700 r8169: Avoid memcpy() over-reading of ETH_SS_STATS [ Upstream commit da5ac772cfe2a03058b0accfac03fad60c46c24d ] 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.
