[PATCH v4] net: don't call strlen() on the user buffer in packet_bind_spkt()

From: Alexander Potapenko
Date: Wed Mar 01 2017 - 08:03:28 EST


KMSAN (KernelMemorySanitizer, a new error detection tool) reports use of
uninitialized memory in packet_bind_spkt():

==================================================================
(the line numbers are relative to 4.8-rc6, but the bug persists
upstream)

, when I run the following program as root:

=====================================
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netpacket/packet.h>
#include <net/ethernet.h>

int main() {
struct sockaddr addr;
memset(&addr, 0xff, sizeof(addr));
addr.sa_family = AF_PACKET;
int fd = socket(PF_PACKET, SOCK_PACKET, htons(ETH_P_ALL));
bind(fd, &addr, sizeof(addr));
return 0;
}
=====================================

This happens because addr.sa_data copied from the userspace is not
zero-terminated, and copying it with strlcpy() in packet_bind_spkt()
results in calling strlen() on the kernel copy of that non-terminated
buffer.

Changes since v3:
- addressed comments by Eric Dumazet (avoid using constants,
use memcpy() instead of strncpy())
