commit 1a807e46aa upstream.
After a couple recent changes in LLVM, there is a warning (or error with
CONFIG_WERROR=y or W=e) from the compile time fortify source routines,
specifically the memset() in copy_to_user_tmpl().
In file included from net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c:14:
...
include/linux/fortify-string.h:438:4: error: call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with 'warning' attribute: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror,-Wattribute-warning]
438 | __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size);
| ^
1 error generated.
While ->xfrm_nr has been validated against XFRM_MAX_DEPTH when its value
is first assigned in copy_templates() by calling validate_tmpl() first
(so there should not be any issue in practice), LLVM/clang cannot really
deduce that across the boundaries of these functions. Without that
knowledge, it cannot assume that the loop stops before i is greater than
XFRM_MAX_DEPTH, which would indeed result a stack buffer overflow in the
memset().
To make the bounds of ->xfrm_nr clear to the compiler and add additional
defense in case copy_to_user_tmpl() is ever used in a path where
->xfrm_nr has not been properly validated against XFRM_MAX_DEPTH first,
add an explicit bound check and early return, which clears up the
warning.
