Subject: [PATCH] net/af_packet: fix parsing of numeric device args
Date: Wed,  3 Jun 2026 11:13:06 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260603181306.459234-1-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260603170812.212262-1-denserg.edu@gmail.com>

This driver has several numeric arguments but it was using
atoi() which allows garbage and negative values.
Convert to a helper using strtoul() with upper bound.

First found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Reported-by: Denis Sergeev <denserg.edu@gmail.com>
Fixes: 364e08f2bbc0 ("af_packet: add PMD for AF_PACKET-based virtual devices")
Cc: stable@dpdk.org
