[PATCH] dell-wmi: Fix access out of memory

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

 



Without this patch driver dell-wmi is trying to access elements of dynamically
allocated array without checking array size. This can lead to memory corruption
or kernel panic. This patch adds missing checks for array size.
