The sysfs buffer passed to alarms_store() is allocated with 'size + 1' bytes and a NUL terminator is appended. However, the 'size' argument does not account for this extra byte. The original code then allocated 'size' bytes and used strcpy() to copy 'buf', which always writes one byte past the allocated buffer since strcpy() copies until the NUL terminator at index 'size'.
Fix this by parsing the 'buf' parameter directly using simple_strtoll() without allocating any intermediate memory or string copying. This removes the overflow while simplifying the code.
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: e2c94d6f5720 ("w1_therm: adding alarm sysfs entry") Signed-off-by: Thorsten Blum thorsten.blum@linux.dev --- Compile-tested only.
Changes in v5: - Replace gotos with return size (Krzysztof) - Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20251111204422.41993-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev/
Changes in v4: - Use simple_strtoll because kstrtoint also parses long long internally - Return -ERANGE in addition to -EINVAL to match kstrtoint's behavior - Remove any changes unrelated to fixing the buffer overflow (Krzysztof) while maintaining the same behavior and return values as before - Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20251030155614.447905-1-thorsten.blum@linux.dev...
Changes in v3: - Add integer range check for 'temp' to match kstrtoint() behavior - Explicitly cast 'temp' to int when calling int_to_short() - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20251029130045.70127-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev/
Changes in v2: - Fix buffer overflow instead of truncating the copy using strscpy() - Parse buffer directly using simple_strtol() as suggested by David - Update patch subject and description - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20251017170047.114224-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev... --- drivers/w1/slaves/w1_therm.c | 63 ++++++++++++------------------------ 1 file changed, 20 insertions(+), 43 deletions(-)
