[PATCH RESEND] ath10k: fix out of bounds access to local buffer

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

 



During write to debugfs file simulate_fw_crash, fixed-size local buffer
'buf' is accessed and modified at index 'count-1', where 'count' is the
size of the write (so potentially out of bounds).
This patch fixes this problem.
