Subject: [PATCH] staging: vt6656: [BUG] out of bound array reference in RFbSetPower.
Date: Sun, 07 Oct 2012 08:27:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1349594820.3970.6.camel@Route3278> (raw)
Calling RFbSetPower with uCH zero value will cause out of bound array reference.
This causes 64 bit kernels to oops on boot.
Note: Driver does not function on 64 bit kernels and should be
blacklisted on them.
