[PATCH 3.14 05/43] PCI/AER: Avoid info leak in __print_tlp_header()

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

 



3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit a1b7f2f6367944d445c6853035830a35c6343939 upstream.

Commit fab4c256a58b ("PCI/AER: Add a TLP header print helper") introduced
the helper function __print_tlp_header(), but contrary to the intention,
the behaviour did change: Since we're taking the address of the parameter
t, the first 4 or 8 bytes printed will be the value of the pointer t
itself, and the remaining 12 or 8 bytes will be who-knows-what (something
from the stack).

We want to show the values of the four members of the struct
aer_header_log_regs; that can be done without ugly and error-prone casts.
On little-endian this should produce the same output as originally
intended, and since no-one has complained about getting garbage output so
far, I think big-endian should be ok too.
