The definition of macro MOTO_SROM_BUG is: #define MOTO_SROM_BUG (lp->active == 8 && (get_unaligned_le32( dev->dev_addr) & 0x00ffffff) == 0x3e0008) and the if statement if (MOTO_SROM_BUG) lp->active = 0; using this macro indicates lp->active could be 8. If lp->active is 8 and the second comparison of this macro is false. lp->active will remain 8 in: lp->phy[lp->active].gep = (*p ? p : NULL); p += (2 * (*p) + 1); lp->phy[lp->active].rst = (*p ? p : NULL); p += (2 * (*p) + 1); lp->phy[lp->active].mc = get_unaligned_le16(p); p += 2; lp->phy[lp->active].ana = get_unaligned_le16(p); p += 2; lp->phy[lp->active].fdx = get_unaligned_le16(p); p += 2; lp->phy[lp->active].ttm = get_unaligned_le16(p); p += 2; lp->phy[lp->active].mci = *p; However, the length of array lp->phy is 8, so array overflows can occur. To fix these possible array overflows, we first check lp->active and then set it to 0 if it is equal to DE4X5_MAX_PHY (i.e., 8).
