msg passed to netconsole from the console subsystem is not guaranteed to be nul-terminated. Before recent commit 7eab73b18630 ("netconsole: convert to NBCON console infrastructure") the message would be placed in printk_shared_pbufs, a static global buffer, so KASAN had harder time catching OOB accesses. Now we see: printk: console [netcon_ext0] enabled BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in string+0x1f7/0x240 Read of size 1 at addr ffff88813b6d4c00 by task pr/netcon_ext0/594 CPU: 65 UID: 0 PID: 594 Comm: pr/netcon_ext0 Not tainted 6.19.0-11754-g4246fd6547c9 Call Trace: kasan_report+0xe4/0x120 string+0x1f7/0x240 vsnprintf+0x655/0xba0 scnprintf+0xba/0x120 netconsole_write+0x3fe/0xa10 nbcon_emit_next_record+0x46e/0x860 nbcon_kthread_func+0x623/0x750 Allocated by task 1: nbcon_alloc+0x1ea/0x450 register_console+0x26b/0xe10 init_netconsole+0xbb0/0xda0 The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff88813b6d4000 which belongs to the cache kmalloc-4k of size 4096 The buggy address is located 0 bytes to the right of allocated 3072-byte region [ffff88813b6d4000, ffff88813b6d4c00) Fixes: c62c0a17f9b7 ("netconsole: Append kernel version to message") Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski --- CC: leitao@debian.org --- drivers/net/netconsole.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/netconsole.c b/drivers/net/netconsole.c index d144787b2947..1b6a4135ec08 100644 --- a/drivers/net/netconsole.c +++ b/drivers/net/netconsole.c @@ -1679,7 +1679,8 @@ static void send_msg_no_fragmentation(struct netconsole_target *nt, if (release_len) { release = init_utsname()->release; - scnprintf(nt->buf, MAX_PRINT_CHUNK, "%s,%s", release, msg); + scnprintf(nt->buf, MAX_PRINT_CHUNK, "%s,%.*s", release, + msg_len, msg); msg_len += release_len; } else { memcpy(nt->buf, msg, msg_len); -- 2.53.0
