Subject: [PATCH 2/8] cxacru: check data length is not negative
Date: Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:07:14 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B080222.50403@simon.arlott.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4B08013B.90403@simon.arlott.org.uk>
When attempting to read data that is not actually
an array of values, the length may be negative
which causes an Oops due to a likely access off
the end of the data array.
This bug should not occur under normal use unless
the device returns an invalid response.
