The patch titled parport_serial: fix array overflow has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was parport_serial-fix-array-overflow.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: parport_serial: fix array overflow From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> The netmos_9xx5_combo type assumes that PCI SSID provides always the correct value for the number of parallel and serial ports, but there are indeed broken devices with wrong numbers, which may result in Oops. This patch simply adds the check of the array range.
