[PATCH] tipc: Avoid copying bytes beyond the supplied data
From: Chris Packham
Date: Wed May 01 2019 - 23:10:34 EST
TLV_SET is called with a data pointer and a len parameter that tells us
how many bytes are pointed to by data. When invoking memcpy() we need
to careful to only copy len bytes.
Previously we would copy TLV_LENGTH(len) bytes which would copy an extra
4 bytes past the end of the data pointer which newer GCC versions
complain about.
In file included from test.c:17:
In function 'TLV_SET',
inlined from 'test' at test.c:186:5:
/usr/include/linux/tipc_config.h:317:3:
warning: 'memcpy' forming offset [33, 36] is out of the bounds [0, 32]
of object 'bearer_name' with type 'char[32]' [-Warray-bounds]
memcpy(TLV_DATA(tlv_ptr), data, tlv_len);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
test.c: In function 'test':
test.c::161:10: note:
'bearer_name' declared here
char bearer_name[TIPC_MAX_BEARER_NAME];
^~~~~~~~~~~
