strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. in file.c: s_last_mounted is marked as __nonstring meaning it does not need to be NUL-terminated. Let's instead use strtomem_pad() to copy bytes from the string source to the byte array destination -- while also ensuring to pad with zeroes. in ioctl.c: We can drop the memset and size argument in favor of using the new 2-argument version of strscpy_pad() -- which was introduced with Commit e6584c39 ("string: Allow 2-argument strscpy()"). This guarantees NUL-termination and NUL-padding on the destination buffer -- which seems to be a requirement judging from this comment: | static int ext4_ioctl_getlabel(struct ext4_sb_info *sbi, char __user *user_label) | { | char label[EXT4_LABEL_MAX + 1]; | | /* | * EXT4_LABEL_MAX must always be smaller than FSLABEL_MAX because | * FSLABEL_MAX must include terminating null byte, while s_volume_name | * does not have to. | */ in super.c: s_first_error_func is marked as __nonstring meaning we can take the same approach as in file.c; just use strtomem_pad() Link: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/deprecated.html#strncpy-on-nul-terminated-strings [1] Link: https://manpages.debian.org/testing/linux-manual-4.8/strscpy.9.en.html [2] Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/90 Cc: linux-hardening@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Justin Stitt <justinstitt@google.com> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240321-strncpy-fs-ext4-file-c-v1-1-36a6a09fef0c@google.comSigned-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
