[PATCH] Open IPMI BT overflow
I was looking into random driver code and found a suspicious looking
memcpy() in drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_bt_sm.c on 2.6.17-rc1:
if ((size < 2) || (size > IPMI_MAX_MSG_LENGTH))
return -1;
...
memcpy(bt->write_data + 3, data + 1, size - 1);
where sizeof bt->write_data is IPMI_MAX_MSG_LENGTH. It looks like the
memcpy would overflow by 2 bytes if size == IPMI_MAX_MSG_LENGTH. A patch
attached to limit size to (IPMI_MAX_LENGTH - 2).
