[PATCH 1/3] usb: early: xhci-dbc: Fix a potential out-of-bound memory access

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

 



If xdbc_bulk_write() fails, the values in 'buf' can be anything. So the
string is not guaranteed to be NULL terminated when xdbc_trace() is called.

Reserve an extra byte, which will be zeroed automatically because 'buf' is
a static variable, in order to avoid troubles, should it happen.

Fixes: aeb9dd1de98c ("usb/early: Add driver for xhci debug capability")
