[PATCH net] 6lowpan: Off by one handling ->nexthdr

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

 



NEXTHDR_MAX is 255.  What happens here is that we take a u8 value
"hdr->nexthdr" from the network and then look it up in
lowpan_nexthdr_nhcs[].  The problem is that if hdr->nexthdr is 0xff then
we read one element beyond the end of the array so the array needs to
be one element larger.

This is the only place which uses the NEXTHDR_MAX define, so I considered
changing that to 256 instead.  Either fix would work.
