[PATCH 2/2] USB: devio: Don't corrupt user memory

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

 



The user buffer has "uurb->buffer_length" bytes.  If the kernel has more
information than that, we should truncate it instead of writing past
the end of the user's buffer.  I added a WARN_ONCE() to help the user
debug the issue.
