From b07b65846ba33a4deba03eb6e39043c8bc70903b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Tue, 4 Apr 2017 21:35:22 -0700 Subject: randstruct: Whitelist UNIXCB cast MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This is another false positive in bad cast detection: net/unix/af_unix.c: In function ‘unix_skb_scm_eq’: net/unix/af_unix.c:1621:31: note: found mismatched rhs struct pointer types: ‘struct unix_skb_parms’ and ‘char’ const struct unix_skb_parms *u = &UNIXCB(skb); ^ UNIXCB is: #define UNIXCB(skb) (*(struct unix_skb_parms *)&((skb)->cb)) And ->cb is: char cb[48] __aligned(8); This is a rather crazy cast, but appears to be safe in the face of randomization, so whitelist it in the plugin.
