[patch 2/2] misc: mic: silence an overflow warning

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

 



Static checkers complain that the this is a potential array overflow.
We verify that it's not on the next line so this code is OK, but
static checker warnings are annoying.

We would have caught CVE-2015-5327 if we had ordered it to check first
before using the offset.
