[PATCH 3.16 280/305] tipc: fix an infoleak in tipc_nl_compat_link_dump

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



3.16.37-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kangjie Lu <kangjielu@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 5d2be1422e02ccd697ccfcd45c85b4a26e6178e2 upstream.

link_info.str is a char array of size 60. Memory after the NULL
byte is not initialized. Sending the whole object out can cause
a leak.

[carnil: Backported to 3.16 (same as bwh did for 3.2): the unpadded strcpy() is
in tipc_node_get_links() and no nlattr is involved, so use strncpy()]
