Subject[PATCH] bfa: avoid buffer overrun for 12-byte model name
Date
From: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>

we use strncpy to copy a model name of length up to 15 (16, if you count
the NUL), into a buffer of size 12 (BFA_FCS_PORT_SYMBNAME_MODEL_SZ).
However, strncpy does not always NUL-terminate, so whenever the original
model string has strlen >= 12, the following strncat reads beyond end
of the ->sym_name buffer as it attempts to find end of string.

bfa_fcs_fabric_psymb_init(struct bfa_fcs_fabric_s *fabric)
{
bfa_ioc_get_adapter_model(&fabric->fcs->bfa->ioc, model);
...
strncpy((char *)&port_cfg->sym_name, model,
BFA_FCS_PORT_SYMBNAME_MODEL_SZ);
strncat((char *)&port_cfg->sym_name, BFA_FCS_PORT_SYMBNAME_SEPARATOR,
sizeof(BFA_FCS_PORT_SYMBNAME_SEPARATOR));
...

bfa_ioc_get_adapter_model(struct bfa_ioc_s *ioc, char *model)
{
struct bfi_ioc_attr_s *ioc_attr;

WARN_ON(!model);
memset((void *)model, 0, BFA_ADAPTER_MODEL_NAME_LEN);

BFA_ADAPTER_MODEL_NAME_LEN = 16
