[PATCH] staging: wilc1000: fix infinite loop and out-of-bounds access

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

 



If i < slot_id is initially true then it will remain true. Also,
as i is being decremented it will end up accessing memory out of
bounds.

Fix this by incrementing *i* instead of decrementing it.

memory on failure cases")

BTW... at first sight it seems to me that variables slot_id
and i should be of type unsigned instead of signed.
