Details

Summary

IEEE80211_MESH_RTCMD_ADD was invoking memcmp() to validate the
supplied address directly on the user pointer rather than first doing
a copyin() and validating the copied value.

IEEE80211_MESH_RTCMD_DELETE was passing the user pointer directly to
ieee80211_mesh_rt_del() rather than copying the user buffer into a
temporary kernel buffer.

Test Plan
  • found in CheriBSD where user pointers and kernel pointers are different types currently
  • compile tested only, no run-time testing

These should have been reported by SMAP, but apparently nobody uses mesh ?

I suspect that no one uses it, yes.
