Hello Hannes Reinecke,
The patch b6ff1b14cdf4: "[SCSI] scsi_dh: Update EMC handler" from Jul
17, 2008, leads to the following static checker warning:
drivers/scsi/device_handler/scsi_dh_emc.c:252 parse_sp_model()
warn: buffer overflow 'buffer' 252 <= 255
drivers/scsi/device_handler/scsi_dh_emc.c
217 static char * parse_sp_model(struct scsi_device *sdev, unsigned char
*buffer)
218 {
219 unsigned char len = buffer[4] + 5;
The warning is simply because Smatch assumes that "len" can be up to 255
since it is a u8. That is likely not a real concern but I think there
are some off by one errors.
220 char *sp_model = NULL;
221 unsigned char sp_len, serial_len;
222
223 if (len < 160) {
These conditions seem off by one to me. If len == 160 then we can read
up to buffer[159]? I think this should be:
if (len < 161).
224 sdev_printk(KERN_WARNING, sdev,
225 "%s: Invalid information section length
%d\n",
226 CLARIION_NAME, len);
227 /* Check for old FC arrays */
228 if (!strncmp(buffer + 8, "DGC", 3)) {
229 /* Old FC array, not supporting extended
information */
230 sp_model = emc_default_str;
231 }
232 goto out;
233 }
234
235 /*
236 * Parse extended information for SP model number
237 */
238 serial_len = buffer[160];
239 if (serial_len == 0 || serial_len + 161 > len) {
Here the > should probably be >=.
240 sdev_printk(KERN_WARNING, sdev,
241 "%s: Invalid array serial number length
%d\n",
242 CLARIION_NAME, serial_len);
243 goto out;
244 }
245 sp_len = buffer[99];
246 if (sp_len == 0 || serial_len + sp_len + 161 > len) {
And here as well.
247 sdev_printk(KERN_WARNING, sdev,
248 "%s: Invalid model number length %d\n",
249 CLARIION_NAME, sp_len);
250 goto out;
251 }
252 sp_model = &buffer[serial_len + 161];
Otherwise we are potetially reading from &buffer[len] here which looks
off by one.
253 /* Strip whitespace at the end */
254 while (sp_len > 1 && sp_model[sp_len - 1] == ' ')
255 sp_len--;
256
257 sp_model[sp_len] = '\0';
258
259 out:
260 return sp_model;
261 }
regards,
dan carpenter
