[PATCH v2] airo: Fix read overflows sending packets

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

 



The problem is that we always copy a minimum of ETH_ZLEN (60) bytes from
skb->data even when skb->len is less than ETH_ZLEN so it leads to a read
overflow.

The fix is to pad skb->data with zeroes so that it's never less than
ETH_ZLEN bytes.
