[PATCH 1/4] staging: et131x: zero allocation of fbr to prevent random address access

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

 



If et131x_rx_dma_memory_alloc() allocates rx_ring->fbr[0] but fails to
allocate rx_ring->fbr[1], this leaves fbr[0]->ring_virtaddr with the
possibility of being accessed in et131x_rx_dma_memory_free() as it
contains a random value, potentially causing an oops.

Fix this by zeroing the fbr memory on allocation. Subsequent frees of
this fbr memory explicitly zeros the ring_virtaddr value.
