Subject: [PATCH] libata: fix out-of-bounds access in pata_oldpiix.c
Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 09:06:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <488040E4.1090500@gmx.ch> (raw)

The "pata_oldpiix" driver in linux-2.6.26 is calling its "set_dmamode" 
routine also locally, but under different preconditions as the 
corresponding call in libata-core.c. This may cause an "out-of-array 
bounds" access in "oldpiix_set_dmamode".
