[patch 2/2 v2] Staging: rtl8192e: pointer math bug in rtllib_rx_DELBA()

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

 



The pointer math here was totally wrong so we were reading nonsense
information from beyond the end of the buffer.  It could lead to an oops
if that memory wasn't mapped.

The "pReasonCode" pointer is assigned but never used so I deleted it.
