>From d67bad383d4ea9dea8872e3999324ccbeb2a5815 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2014 09:21:40 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: ipset: small potential read beyond the end of buffer We could be reading 8 bytes into a 4 byte buffer here. It seems harmless but adding a check is the right thing to do and it silences a static checker warning.
