[patch] pch_gbe: memory corruption calling pch_gbe_validate_option()

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

 



pch_gbe_validate_option() modifies 32 bits of memory but we pass
&hw->phy.autoneg_advertised which only has 16 bits and &hw->mac.fc
which only has 8 bits.
