However, I think there is still more to fix since b[i + 1] can read past the end of b: Say b is defined as "u8 b[3]". Passing len 3 means the second loop, with i==2 will access b[2] and b[3], the latter is out of range. -Kees > > dib9000_mbx_send_attr(state, OUT_MSG_BRIDGE_APB_W, mb, 1 + len / 2, attribute); > -- > 2.0.0 > -- Kees Cook Chrome OS Security -- 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
