[PATCH] panasonic-laptop: avoid overflow in acpi_pcc_hotkey_add()

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

 



num_sifr could go negative since acpi_pcc_get_sqty() returns -EINVAL
on error.  Then it could bypass the sanity check (num_sifr > 255).
The subsequent call to kzalloc() would allocate a small buffer, leading
to a memory corruption.
