From 9e0b33c221f1364e4d7562177a918eef8e85317a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Lüssing Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2011 12:20:13 +0000 Subject: batman-adv: Fix possible buffer overflow in softif neigh list output MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit When printing the soft interface table the number of entries in the softif neigh list are first being counted and a fitting buffer allocated. After that the softif neigh list gets locked again and the buffer printed - which has the following two issues: For one thing, the softif neigh list might have grown when reacquiring the rcu lock, which results in writing outside of the allocated buffer. Furthermore 31 Bytes are not enough for printing an entry with a vid of more than 2 digits. The manual buffering is unnecessary, we can safely print to the seq directly during the rcu_read_lock().
