Subject: mtd: nand: atmel: fix buffer overflow in atmel_pmecc_user
From: Richard Genoud <[email protected]>
commit 36de80740008e6a4a55115b4a92e2059e47c1cba upstream.
When calculating the size needed by struct atmel_pmecc_user *user, the dmu and delta buffer sizes were forgotten.
This lead to a memory corruption (especially with a large ecc_strength).
