[PATCH 4.9 42/67] staging: ncpfs: memory corruption in ncp_read_kernel()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Mar 27 2018 - 12:33:18 EST


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

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4c41aa24baa4ed338241d05494f2c595c885af8f upstream.

If the server is malicious then *bytes_read could be larger than the
size of the "target" buffer. It would lead to memory corruption when we
do the memcpy().
