[PATCH] netfilter: ebtables: fix fortify warnings

From: GONG, Ruiqi
Date: Mon Aug 07 2023 - 21:52:11 EST


From: "GONG, Ruiqi" <gongruiqi1@xxxxxxxxxx>

When compiling with gcc 13 and CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y, the following
warning appears:

In function ‘fortify_memcpy_chk’,
inlined from ‘size_entry_mwt’ at net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c:2118:2:
./include/linux/fortify-string.h:592:25: error: call to ‘__read_overflow2_field’
declared with attribute warning: detected read beyond size of field (2nd parameter);
maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror=attribute-warning]
592 | __read_overflow2_field(q_size_field, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The compiler is complaining:

memcpy(&offsets[1], &entry->watchers_offset,
sizeof(offsets) - sizeof(offsets[0]));

where memcpy reads beyong &entry->watchers_offset to copy
{watchers,target,next}_offset altogether into offsets[]. Silence the
warning by wrapping these three up via struct_group().
