Subject: [PATCH] hisax fix MAX_CARD setup and potential buffer overflow
Date: Tue, 4 Dec 2001 17:48:36 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20011204174836.0ab6f5de.skraw@ithnet.com> (raw)
Hello Karsten,
Hello Kai,
attached is a patch for ISDN-Driver HiSax for kernel-inclusion that does the
following:
1) Fix usage of HISAX_MAX_CARDS definition so one can _really_ create more (or
less) cards by simply editing HISAX_MAX_CARDS to an appropriate value. In the
original code the idea was visible, only implementation was broken in this
respect.
2) Fix a potential buffer overflow (strcpy) which can be triggered by adding
too long IDs during insmod.
Thanks to Henning Schmiedehausen for support.
Hopefully coming soon:
Patch to edit HISAX_MAX_CARDS during make menuconfig (configurable for joe
user)
Regards,
Stephan
PS: skraw back to the roots ;-)
