[patch] megaraid_sas: harmless memory corruption in megasas_mgmt_fw_ioctl()

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

 



The intent here was for the "kbuff_arr[i] = NULL;" to be inside the
loop but, because the curly braces were missing, it's after the loop.
This means we corrupt a little memory one step beyond the array.
Fortunately, we weren't going to use that memory anyway so it's
harmless.  Also we aren't going to use kbuff_arr[] again so we don't
need to set it to NULL.

I have deleted that line of code.
