Subject: tg3_read_partno(): possible array overrun
Date: Mon, 6 Nov 2006 10:45:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061106094527.GG5778@stusta.de> (raw)
The Coverity checker noted the following in drivers/net/tg3.c:
<-- snip -->
...
static void __devinit tg3_read_partno(struct tg3 *tp)
{
unsigned char vpd_data[256];
int i;
...
/* Now parse and find the part number. */
for (i = 0; i < 256; ) {
unsigned char val = vpd_data[i];
int block_end;
if (val == 0x82 || val == 0x91) {
i = (i + 3 +
(vpd_data[i + 1] +
(vpd_data[i + 2] << 8)));
continue;
}
if (val != 0x90)
goto out_not_found;
block_end = (i + 3 +
(vpd_data[i + 1] +
(vpd_data[i + 2] << 8)));
i += 3;
...
<-- snip -->
The problem is that vpd_data[i + 2] could be vpd_data[255 + 2].
