回复: [PATCH] i2c: Fix OOB access in trace_event_raw_event_smbus_write

From: zhangxiaomeng (A) <hidden>

I previously attempted to apply a fix within the i2cdev_ioctl_smbus function. While this approach was successful in preventing the warning, I found that the required changes were quite extensive. The WARN is triggered by the trace_smbus_write tracepoint, which performs a memcpy(__entry->buf, data->block, len) for write operations on three specific block protocols: I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_DATA, I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA, and I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_PROC_CALL. To fix this in i2cdev_ioctl_smbus, it would be necessary to add checks for all three of these cases, which makes the solution rather complex.

The smbus_write tracepoint copies __entry->len bytes into a fixed 
I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX + 2 buffer. Oversized lengths (e.g., 46) exceed 
the destination and over-read the source buffer, triggering OOB 
warning:

memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 48) of single field 
"entry->buf" at include/trace/events/smbus.h:60 (size 34)

Clamp the copy size to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX + 2 before memcpy().
This only affects tracing and does not change I2C transfer behavior.

[ver #2]")

The code has:

                        __entry->len = 0;
                }

I only see two calls to the copy where one is len = 1 and the other is len = 2. Why not put the check before the copy label?
