[PATCH v1] net: can: j1939: Fix out-of-bounds memory access in j1939_tp_tx_dat_new

From: Oleksij Rempel
Date: Tue Apr 04 2023 - 03:31:48 EST


In the j1939_tp_tx_dat_new function, an out-of-bounds memory access
could occur during the memcpy operation if the size of skb->cb is
larger than the size of struct j1939_sk_buff_cb. This is because the
memcpy operation uses the size of skb->cb, leading to a read beyond
the struct j1939_sk_buff_cb.

To address this issue, we have updated the memcpy operation to use the
size of struct j1939_sk_buff_cb instead of the size of skb->cb. This
ensures that the memcpy operation only reads the memory within the
bounds of struct j1939_sk_buff_cb, preventing out-of-bounds memory
access.

Additionally, a static_assert has been added to check that the size of
skb->cb is greater than or equal to the size of struct j1939_sk_buff_cb.
This ensures that the skb->cb buffer is large enough to hold the
j1939_sk_buff_cb structure.
