From: Anderson Lizardo <anderson.lizardo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> ------------------- This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment. ------------------- commit 0a9ab9bdb3e891762553f667066190c1d22ad62b upstream. The length parameter should be sizeof(req->name) - 1 because there is no guarantee that string provided by userspace will contain the trailing '\0'. Can be easily reproduced by manually setting req->name to 128 non-zero bytes prior to ioctl(HIDPCONNADD) and checking the device name setup on input subsystem: $ cat /sys/devices/pnp0/00\:04/tty/ttyS0/hci0/hci0\:1/input8/name AAAAAA[...]AAAAAAAAf0:af:f0:af:f0:af ("f0:af:f0:af:f0:af" is the device bluetooth address, taken from "phys" field in struct hid_device due to overflow.)
