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

 



From: Liu ShuoX <shuox.liu@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit aa9a4a1edfbd3d223af01db833da2f07850bc655 upstream.

In ramoops_pstore_read, a valid prz pointer with zero size buffer will
break traverse of all persistent ram buffers.  The latter buffer might be
lost.
