Hello Jade Bilkey,

The patch db906eb2101b: "ath5k: added debugfs file for dumping
eeprom" from Aug 30, 2014, leads to the following static checker
warning:

	drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/debug.c:942 open_file_eeprom()
	error: buffer overflow 'buf' 2048 <= 4095

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/debug.c
   905  static int open_file_eeprom(struct inode *inode, struct file *file)
   906  {
   907          struct eeprom_private *ep;
   908          struct ath5k_hw *ah = inode->i_private;
   909          bool res;
   910          int i, ret;
   911          u32 eesize;
   912          u16 val, *buf;
                          ^^^
buf is type u16.

   913  
   914          /* Get eeprom size */
   915  
   916          res = ath5k_hw_nvram_read(ah, AR5K_EEPROM_SIZE_UPPER, &val);
   917          if (!res)
   918                  return -EACCES;
   919  
   920          if (val == 0) {
   921                  eesize = AR5K_EEPROM_INFO_MAX + AR5K_EEPROM_INFO_BASE;
   922          } else {
   923                  eesize = (val & AR5K_EEPROM_SIZE_UPPER_MASK) <<
   924                          AR5K_EEPROM_SIZE_ENDLOC_SHIFT;
   925                  ath5k_hw_nvram_read(ah, AR5K_EEPROM_SIZE_LOWER, &val);
   926                  eesize = eesize | val;
   927          }
   928  
   929          if (eesize > 4096)
   930                  return -EINVAL;
   931  
   932          /* Create buffer and read in eeprom */
   933  
   934          buf = vmalloc(eesize);
                              ^^^^^^
eesize is in bytes.

   935          if (!buf) {
   936                  ret = -ENOMEM;
   937                  goto err;
   938          }
   939  
   940          for (i = 0; i < eesize; ++i) {
   941                  AR5K_EEPROM_READ(i, val);
   942                  buf[i] = val;

We are writing u16 but the for loop limit is in terms of bytes so this
loop will corrupt memory past the end of the buffer.

   943          }
   944  

regards,
dan carpenter
