Hello Joerg and Dwaine, The patch 781aa1d1ab7b: "V4L/DVB (4922): Add usbvision driver" from Dec 4, 2006, leads to the following static checker warning: "drivers/media/usb/usbvision/usbvision-core.c:298 scratch_get() error: memcpy() 'data' too small (400 vs 401)" drivers/media/usb/usbvision/usbvision-core.c 751 strip_len = 2 * (unsigned int)strip_header[1]; 752 if (strip_len > USBVISION_STRIP_LEN_MAX) { ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If we overrun here... 753 /* strip overrun */ 754 /* I think this never happens */ 755 usbvision_request_intra(usbvision); 756 } 757 758 if (scratch_len(usbvision) < strip_len) { 759 /* there is not enough data for the strip */ 760 return parse_state_out; 761 } 762 763 if (usbvision->intra_frame_buffer) { 764 Y = usbvision->intra_frame_buffer + frame->frmwidth * frame->curline; 765 U = usbvision->intra_frame_buffer + image_size + (frame->frmwidth / 2) * (frame->curline / 2); 766 V = usbvision->intra_frame_buffer + image_size / 4 * 5 + (frame->frmwidth / 2) * (frame->curline / 2); 767 } else { 768 return parse_state_next_frame; 769 } 770 771 clipmask_index = frame->curline * MAX_FRAME_WIDTH; 772 773 scratch_get(usbvision, strip_data, strip_len); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Then we scribble on the stack here because "strip_data" only has USBVISION_STRIP_LEN_MAX bytes. It is a security problem. regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
