[PATCH for-next 13/13] IB/hfi1: Split copy_to_user data copy for better security

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

 



From: Michael J. Ruhl <michael.j.ruhl@xxxxxxxxx>

A copy_to_user() call assumes that two members of a data structure
are sequential.  Since this may not always be true, separate the copies
to ensure a safe copy.
