[PATCH 3.16 73/99] iwlegacy: ensure loop counter addr does not wrap and cause an infinite loop

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

 



3.16.84-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit c2f9a4e4a5abfc84c01b738496b3fd2d471e0b18 upstream.

The loop counter addr is a u16 where as the upper limit of the loop
is an int. In the unlikely event that the il->cfg->eeprom_size is
greater than 64K then we end up with an infinite loop since addr will
wrap around an never reach upper loop limit. Fix this by making addr
an int.
