π‘οΈ Sentinel: [MEDIUM] Fix unbounded strcpy in ar8327 LED driver#85
Conversation
Replaced `strcpy` with `strscpy` in `target/linux/generic/files/drivers/net/phy/ar8327.c` to prevent potential buffer overflows. Also precalculated `name_len` to avoid calling `strlen` twice and prevent TOCTOU races between allocation and copying.

π¨ Severity: MEDIUM
π‘ Vulnerability: Unbounded
strcpyinar8327_led_createcould lead to buffer overflows when copying the LED name into a dynamically allocated flexible array member. Additionally,strlenwas called separately during allocation and copying, potentially leading to TOCTOU races if the name changed in the interim.π― Impact: Potential kernel memory corruption or out-of-bounds writes if a maliciously crafted or overly long LED name is provided via the device tree or other initialization paths.
π§ Fix: Replaced
strcpywithstrscpy, precalculated the name length in a local variablename_len, and used it for both memory allocation and bounds checking instrscpy.β Verification: Verified that the patch applies cleanly,
strscpycorrectly bounds the copy, and no syntax errors or regressions were introduced. Runsh test_ci.shlocally.PR created automatically by Jules for task 3457645063388007658 started by @manupawickramasinghe
