[PATCH 1/2] Revert "PCI/VPD: Allow access to valid parts of VPD if some is invalid"

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

 



When a device returns invalid VPD data, it can be misused by other
code paths in kernel space or user space, and there are instances
in which this seems to cause memory corruption.

There is no sensible reason why the kernel would provide userspace
or drivers with invalid and potentially dangerous data.

This reverts commit 5fe204eab174fd474227f23fd47faee4e7a6c000.
