This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled string: Adjust strtomem() logic to allow for smaller sources to the 6.1-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: string-adjust-strtomem-logic-to-allow-for-smaller-so.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 1e1653bd8ab0abcb72b1d01e6a1a5ee3b3685ce0 Author: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Oct 18 10:53:58 2023 -0700 string: Adjust strtomem() logic to allow for smaller sources [ Upstream commit 0e108725f6cc5b3be9e607f89c9fbcbb236367b7 ] Arnd noticed we have a case where a shorter source string is being copied into a destination byte array, but this results in a strnlen() call that exceeds the size of the source. This is seen with -Wstringop-overread: In file included from ../include/linux/uuid.h:11, from ../include/linux/mod_devicetable.h:14, from ../include/linux/cpufeature.h:12, from ../arch/x86/coco/tdx/tdx.c:7: ../arch/x86/coco/tdx/tdx.c: In function 'tdx_panic.constprop': ../include/linux/string.h:284:9: error: 'strnlen' specified bound 64 exceeds source size 60 [-Werror=stringop-overread] 284 | memcpy_and_pad(dest, _dest_len, src, strnlen(src, _dest_len), pad); \ | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ../arch/x86/coco/tdx/tdx.c:124:9: note: in expansion of macro 'strtomem_pad' 124 | strtomem_pad(message.str, msg, '\0'); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~ Use the smaller of the two buffer sizes when calling strnlen(). When src length is unknown (SIZE_MAX), it is adjusted to use dest length, which is what the original code did.
