Subject: [patch] ray_cs: read past the end of the array
Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:04:51 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130226100451.GA12364@longonot.mountain> (raw)
"translate" should either be set or disabled. We also use it an
offset into the framing[] array when we're generating the proc
file. Framing looks like this:
static const char *framing[] = { "Encapsulation", "Translation" }
So when we're setting translate we need to restrict the values to
either 1 or 0 or it can an out of bounds read.

Compile tested only. This function currently doesn't have
permission checks but maybe it should.
There are a couple other overflow warnings in this file that look
valid, but I don't know what was intended.
