Subject: [patch] [S390] keyboard: integer underflow bug
Date: Tue, 01 Mar 2011 15:22:50 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110301152250.GR18043@bicker> (raw)
The "ct" variable should be an unsigned int. Both struct kbdiacrs
->kb_cnt and struct kbd_data ->accent_table_size are unsigned ints.
Making it signed causes a problem in KBDIACRUC because the user could
set the signed bit and cause a buffer overflow.
