Subject: Re: [PATCH v3] smb3: Replace smb2pdu 1-element arrays with flex-arrays
2023-02-18 9:24 GMT+09:00, Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>:
> The kernel is globally removing the ambiguous 0-length and 1-element
> arrays in favor of flexible arrays, so that we can gain both compile-time
> and run-time array bounds checking[1].
>
> Replace the trailing 1-element array with a flexible array in the
> following structures:
>
> struct smb2_err_rsp
> struct smb2_tree_connect_req
> struct smb2_negotiate_rsp
> struct smb2_sess_setup_req
> struct smb2_sess_setup_rsp
> struct smb2_read_req
> struct smb2_read_rsp
> struct smb2_write_req
> struct smb2_write_rsp
> struct smb2_query_directory_req
> struct smb2_query_directory_rsp
> struct smb2_set_info_req
> struct smb2_change_notify_rsp
> struct smb2_create_rsp
> struct smb2_query_info_req
> struct smb2_query_info_rsp
>
> Replace the trailing 1-element array with a flexible array, but leave
> the existing structure padding:
>
> struct smb2_file_all_info
> struct smb2_lock_req
>
> Adjust all related size calculations to match the changes to sizeof().
>
> No machine code output or .data section differences are produced after
> these changes.
