Re: [PATCH] Fix an OOB bug in parse_audio_mixer_unit

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi, Takashi:
Here the problem is that `desc->bLength` is controlled by the device side,
so  `desc->bLength` may not represent the real length of the descriptor.
That is why I use pointer arithmetic operations to derive the real size of
the buffer
in my patch.
