[PATCH] USB: sisusbvga: Fix a UB casued by left shifting a negative value

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

 



From: Changming Liu <charley.ashbringer@xxxxxxxxx>

The char buffer buf, receives data directly from user space,
so its content might be negative and its elements are left
shifted to form an unsigned integer.

Since left shifting a negative value is undefined behavior, thus
change the char to u8 to elimintate this UB.
