Subject: [PATCH] firewire: Using uninitialized values in node_probe()
Date: Fri, 8 May 2020 17:40:22 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200508144022.GB410645@mwanda> (raw)

If fw_csr_string() returns -ENOENT, then "name" is uninitialized.  So
then the "strlen(model_names[i]) <= name_len" is true because strlen()
is unsigned and -ENOENT is type promoted to a very high positive value.
Then the "strncmp(name, model_names[i], name_len)" uses uninitialized
data because "name" is uninitialized.

Fixes: 92374e886c75 ("[media] firedtv: drop obsolete backend abstraction")
