[PATCH] uaccess: Add minimum bounds check on kernel buffer size

From: Kees Cook
Date: Fri Feb 03 2023 - 14:35:37 EST


While there is logic about the difference between ksize and usize,
copy_struct_from_user() didn't check the size of the destination buffer
(when it was known) against ksize. Add this check so there is an upper
bounds check on the possible memset() call, otherwise lower bounds
checks made by callers will trigger bounds warnings under -Warray-bounds.
Seen under GCC 13:

In function 'copy_struct_from_user',
inlined from 'iommufd_fops_ioctl' at
../drivers/iommu/iommufd/main.c:333:8:
../include/linux/fortify-string.h:59:33: warning: '__builtin_memset' offset [57, 4294967294] is out of the bounds [0, 56] of object 'buf' with type 'union ucmd_buffer' [-Warray-bounds=]
