[PATCH 0/1] misc/vmw_vmci: fix filling of the msg and msg_payload in dg_info struct

From: kovalev
Date: Wed Jan 10 2024 - 05:49:36 EST


Warning detected by tracking mechanisms __fortify_memcpy_chk, added 2021-04-20.
The proposed patch (PATCH 1/1) introduces changes to meet the new requirements.

The reproducer (repro.c) was generated using the syzkaller program and minimized
(Thanks Alexander Ofitserov <oficerovas@xxxxxxxxxxxx>):

Based on a rather primitive performance assessment, the results do not differ
much, and given the loss of warning output in a one-time function call, the
difference will be significant.
