Subject: [PATCH 03/12] net: eth: avoid overlapping memcpy in eth_set_ethaddr
Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2026 09:42:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260216084253.3547270-3-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260216084253.3547270-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>
eth_param_set_ethaddr() calls eth_set_ethaddr(edev, edev->ethaddr),
which results in memcpy(edev->ethaddr, ethaddr, ETH_ALEN) where source
and destination are the same buffer. This is undefined behavior with
memcpy.
Skip the memcpy when ethaddr already points to edev->ethaddr.
Fixes: b9170a1bde ("net: eth: Remove ethaddr_param")
Reported-by: GCC 14.2 -fanalyzer
