Yeah, I took a look at struct gb_i2c_transfer_response and I think it might trip the memcpy checking too since it's zero sized, but it's on the source side, which isn't as strictly checked. I'll add a TODO item to track these, though. -Kees -- Kees Cook _______________________________________________ greybus-dev mailing list -- greybus-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to greybus-dev-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
