Subject: [PATCH 2.6.21.3] ppp_mppe: account for osize too small errors in mppe_decompress()
Date: Tue, 05 Jun 2007 22:23:02 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <46654796.3060800@gmail.com> (raw)
Prevent mppe_decompress() from generating "osize too small" errors when checking
for output buffer size. When receiving a packet of mru size the output buffer
for decrypted data is 1 byte too small since mppe_decompress() tries to account
for possible PFC, however later in code it is assumed no PFC.
Adjusting the check prevented there errors from occurring.
