Subject: [PATCH] wmi: Fix kernel panic when stack protection enabled.
Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2009 17:09:23 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.00.0906091707380.8360@debian> (raw)
From: Costantino Leandro <lcostantino@gmail.com>
Summary:
Kernel panic arise when stack protection is enabled, since strncat will
add a null terminating byte '\0'; So in functions
like this one (wmi_query_block):
char wc[4]="WC";
....
strncat(method, block->object_id, 2);
...
the length of wc should be n+1 (wc[5]) or stack protection
fault will arise. This is not noticeable when stack protection is
disabled,but , isn't good either.
Config used: [CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL=y,
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y]
Panic Trace
------------
.... stack-protector: kernel stack corrupted in : fa7b182c
