3.6.11.2 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Kees Cook [ Upstream commit 715230a44310a8cf66fbfb5a46f9a62a9b2de424 ] Commit 184b89044fb6e2a74611dafa69b1dce0d98612c6 ("tg3: Use VPD fw version when present") introduced VPD parsing that contained a potential length overflow. Limit the hardware's reported firmware string length (max 255 bytes) to stay inside the driver's firmware string length (32 bytes). On overflow, truncate the formatted firmware string instead of potentially overwriting portions of the tg3 struct. http://cansecwest.com/slides/2013/PrivateCore%20CSW%202013.pdf Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Reported-by: Oded Horovitz Reported-by: Brad Spengler Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Matt Carlson Signed-off-by: David S.
