Dan Carpenter reported the following:
The patch 52898025cf: "[S390] dasd: security and PSF update patch
for EMC CKD ioctl" from Mar 8, 2010, leads to the following static
checker warning:
drivers/s390/block/dasd_eckd.c:4486 dasd_symm_io()
error: using offset into zero size array 'psf_data[]'
drivers/s390/block/dasd_eckd.c
4458 /* Copy parms from caller */
4459 rc = -EFAULT;
4460 if (copy_from_user(&usrparm, argp, sizeof(usrparm)))
^^^^^^^
The user can specify any "usrparm.psf_data_len". They choose zero by
mistake.
4461 goto out;
4462 if (is_compat_task()) {
4463 /* Make sure pointers are sane even on 31 bit. */
4464 rc = -EINVAL;
4465 if ((usrparm.psf_data >> 32) != 0)
4466 goto out;
4467 if ((usrparm.rssd_result >> 32) != 0)
4468 goto out;
4469 usrparm.psf_data &= 0x7fffffffULL;
4470 usrparm.rssd_result &= 0x7fffffffULL;
4471 }
4472 /* alloc I/O data area */
4473 psf_data = kzalloc(usrparm.psf_data_len, GFP_KERNEL
| GFP_DMA);
4474 rssd_result = kzalloc(usrparm.rssd_result_len, GFP_KERNEL
| GFP_DMA);
4475 if (!psf_data || !rssd_result) {
kzalloc() returns a ZERO_SIZE_PTR (0x16).
4476 rc = -ENOMEM;
4477 goto out_free;
4478 }
4479
4480 /* get syscall header from user space */
4481 rc = -EFAULT;
4482 if (copy_from_user(psf_data,
4483 (void __user *)(unsigned long)
usrparm.psf_data,
4484 usrparm.psf_data_len))
That all works great.
4485 goto out_free;
4486 psf0 = psf_data[0];
4487 psf1 = psf_data[1];
But now we're assuming that "->psf_data_len" was at least 2 bytes.
Fix this by checking the user specified length psf_data_len.

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.
