Subject: [patch] fddi: 64 bit bug in smt_add_para()
Date: Sat, 1 Sep 2012 12:57:40 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120901195740.GG20741@mwanda> (raw)
The intent was to set 4 bytes of data so that's why the sp_len is set
to 4 on the next line. The cast to u_long pointer clears 8 bytes
on 64 bit arches.

Code auditing work. I don't have this hardware. This bug is old.
