[$] A struct sockaddr sequel
Friday November 14, 2025. 04:10 PM , from LWN.net
One of the many objectives of the Linux
Kernel Self-Protection Project (KSPP), which just completed ten years of work, is to ensure that all array references can be bounds-checked, even in the case of flexible array members, the size of which is not known at compile time. One of the most challenging flexible array members in the kernel is not even declared as such. Almost exactly one year ago, LWN looked at the effort to increase safety around the networking subsystem's heavily used sockaddr structure. One year later, Kees Cook is still looking for a way to bring this work to a close.
