Subject: bna: integer overflow bug in debugfs
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>
[ Upstream commit 13e2d5187f6b965ba3556caedb914baf81b98ed2 ]
We could allocate less memory than intended because we do:
bnad->regdata = kzalloc(len << 2, GFP_KERNEL);
The shift can overflow leading to a crash. This is debugfs code so the
impact is very small.
Fixes: 7afc5dbde091 ("bna: Add debugfs interface.")
