[patch 2/2] Staging: rtl8192e: pointer math bug in rtllib_rx_DELBA()

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

 



The "delba" variable is a pointer to struct rtllib_hdr_3addr so this
pointer math bug means that we read nonsense data from beyond the end of
the buffer.  It could result in a oops if the memory is not mapped.
