[patch] mtd/docg3: off by one in doc_register_sysfs()

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

 



Smatch found a bug in the error handling:

	drivers/mtd/devices/docg3.c:1634 doc_register_sysfs()
	error: buffer overflow 'doc_sys_attrs' 4 <= 4

The problem is that if the very last device_create_file() fails, then we
are beyond the end of the array.  Actually, any time i == 3 then there
is a problem.  We can fix this an simplify the code at the same time by
moving the !ret conditions out of the for loops and using a goto
instead.
