[PATCH 4.9 005/164] char: lp: fix possible integer overflow in lp_setup()

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

 



4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Willy Tarreau <w@xxxxxx>

commit 3e21f4af170bebf47c187c1ff8bf155583c9f3b1 upstream.

The lp_setup() code doesn't apply any bounds checking when passing
"lp=none", and only in this case, resulting in an overflow of the
parport_nr[] array. All versions in Git history are affected.
