[PATCH v2] cifs: potential buffer overflow in handling symlinks

From: Harshit Mogalapalli
Date: Wed Apr 13 2022 - 07:43:40 EST


Smatch printed a warning:
arch/x86/crypto/poly1305_glue.c:198 poly1305_update_arch() error:
__memcpy() 'dctx->buf' too small (16 vs u32max)

It's caused because Smatch marks 'link_len' as untrusted since it comes
from sscanf(). Add a check to ensure that 'link_len' is not larger than
the size of the 'link_str' buffer.

Fixes: c69c1b6eaea1 ("cifs: implement CIFSParseMFSymlink()")

v2: make use of CIFS_MF_SYMLINK_LINK_MAXLEN (same but cleaner).
