Subject: [patch] NFC: potential integer overflow problem in check_crc()
Date: Fri, 18 May 2012 07:36:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120518073647.GB4136@elgon.mountain> (raw)
If "buf[0]" is 255 then "len" gets set to 0. The call to
"crc_ccitt(0xffff, buf, len - 2);" casts the "len - 2" to a high
positive number which is ugly.
