Subject: [PATCH] Siano: Read buffer overflow
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2009 20:16:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A68A919.8070404@gmail.com> (raw)

With mode DEVICE_MODE_RAW_TUNER a read occurs past the end of smscore_fw_lkup[].
Subsequently an attempt is made to load the firmware from the resulting
filename.

This can be reached only when coredev->device_flags contains SMS_DEVICE_FAMILY2,
codedev->modes_supported does not include the DEVICE_MODE_RAW_TUNER bit flag,
and the initial attempt to load firmware. Can this happen in practice on the
hardware in question?
