re:[PATCH] libertas_tf: prevent underflow in process_cmdrequest()

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

 



If recvlength is less than MESSAGE_HEADER_LEN (4) we would end up
corrupting memory.

This is from static analysis.  I'm not positive that this is a real
bug, but it's harmless to check.

The wording here is a bit unfortunate, and give the user a false impression (at
least me).
The problem is the paketsize not the buffer.
therefor i suggest to change that into:
 "received invalid paketsize %d\n"

just my 2 cents,
