[80/99] nfs: Avoid overrun when copying client IP address string

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Nov 06 2009 - 17:29:36 EST


2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit f4373bf9e67e4a653c8854acd7b02dac9714c98a upstream.

As seen in <http://bugs.debian.org/549002>, nfs4_init_client() can
overrun the source string when copying the client IP address from
nfs_parsed_mount_data::client_address to nfs_client::cl_ipaddr. Since
these are both treated as null-terminated strings elsewhere, the copy
should be done with strlcpy() not memcpy().
