Subject: [PATCH] ath9k_hw: Fix bug in eeprom data length validation for AR9485
Date: Tue, 21 Dec 2010 01:42:43 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1292924563-3339-1-git-send-email-vasanth@atheros.com> (raw)
The size of the eeprom data is 1088 bytes for AR9485. But
a sanity check is done against 4K which would result in a
'potential read past the end of the buffer' smatch complaint.
