[PATCH net-next] bnx2x: initialize ethtool info->fw_version before use

From: Jonathan Toppins
Date: Mon Nov 18 2019 - 12:08:28 EST


If the info->fw_version has garbage in the buffer this can lead to a BUG()
being generated in strlcat() due to the use of strlen(). Initialize the
buffer before use.

The use of a systemtap script can demonstrate the problem by injecting
garbage into fw_version:

[root@localhost ~]# cat net-info.stp
//
// compile and run with command
//# stap -g net-info.stp
//
probe begin { printf("net-info version 01.01\n")}

function memset(msg:long) %{
memset((char*)STAP_ARG_msg,-1,196);
%}

probe module("bnx2x").function("bnx2x_get_drvinfo")
{
printf("In function\n");
memset(register("rsi"));
}

[root@localhost ~]# stap -g net-info.stp &
net-info version 01.01
[root@localhost ~]# ethtool -i eth1
