I actually wonder if a follow-up patch might be a good idea here, just for robustness: capi_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg) { struct capidev *cdev = file->private_data; - capi_ioctl_struct data; + capi_ioctl_struct data = { }; > > Perhaps this would also be a good instance to use `strtomem_pad` for but > in my testing the compiler was not able to determine the size of `buf` > -- even with all the hints. > > Link: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/deprecated.html#strncpy-on-nul-terminated-strings [1] > Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/90 > Cc: linux-hardening@vger.kernel.org > Signed-off-by: Justin Stitt <justinstitt@google.com> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. `buf` is used in this context as a data buffer with 64 bytes of memory to be occupied by capi_manufakturer. We see the caller capi20_get_manufacturer() passes data.manufacturer as its `buf` argument which is then later passed over to user space. Due to this, let's keep the NUL-padding that strncpy provided by using strscpy_pad so as to not leak any stack data. | cdev->errcode = capi20_get_manufacturer(data.contr, data.manufacturer); | if (cdev->errcode) | return -EIO; | | if (copy_to_user(argp, data.manufacturer, | sizeof(data.manufacturer))) | return -EFAULT; Perhaps this would also be a good instance to use `strtomem_pad` for but in my testing the compiler was not able to determine the size of `buf` -- even with all the hints.
