The 'nfs_server' and 'mount_server' structures include a union of 'struct sockaddr' (with the older 16 bytes max address size) and 'struct sockaddr_storage' which is large enough to hold all the supported sa_family types (128 bytes max size). The runtime memcpy() buffer overflow checker is seeing attempts to write beyond the 16 bytes as an overflow, but the actual expected size is that of 'struct sockaddr_storage'. Plumb the use of 'struct sockaddr_storage' more completely through-out NFS, which results in adjusting the memcpy() buffers to the correct union members. Avoids this false positive run-time warning under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE: memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 28) of single field "&ctx->nfs_server.address" at fs/nfs/namespace.c:178 (size 16) Reported-by: kernel test robot <yujie.liu@intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/202210110948.26b43120-yujie.liu@intel.com Cc: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com> Cc: Anna Schumaker <anna@kernel.org> Cc: linux-nfs@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker <Anna.Schumaker@Netapp.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
