[PATCH 1/2] Staging: bcm: Add size minimum size restrictions for IOCTL_IDLE_REQ

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

 



If IoBuffer.InputLength is zero then this will cause an Oops when
we dereference the ZERO_SIZE_PTR.  Or if it's smaller than
sizeof(struct link_request) then we would get memory corruption
when we set ->PLength in CopyBufferToControlPacket().
