Subject: [patch v2] Staging: rtl8192u: fix some memory corruption
Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2012 20:37:31 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120417203553.GA18206@mwanda> (raw)
When we received a command we incremented a stat counter depending on
the type of message. The problem is there were 8 types of commands but
there were only 4 counters allocated so it corrupted memory past the
end of the rxcmdpkt[] array.
The fix is just to remove the counters because they aren't used.
