[ 111/171] libceph: fix overflow in __decode_pool_names()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Nov 22 2012 - 17:05:48 EST


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

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

From: Xi Wang <xi.wang@xxxxxxxxx>

(cherry picked from commit ad3b904c07dfa88603689bf9a67bffbb9b99beb5)

`len' is read from network and thus needs validation. Otherwise a
large `len' would cause out-of-bounds access via the memcpy() call.
In addition, len = 0xffffffff would overflow the kmalloc() size,
leading to out-of-bounds write.

This patch adds a check of `len' via ceph_decode_need(). Also use
kstrndup rather than kmalloc/memcpy.

[elder@xxxxxxxxxxx: added -ENOMEM return for null kstrndup() result]
