From: Dan Carpenter Date: Wed, 09 Jun 2010 12:01:54 +0000 Subject: [patch] sata_sil24: memset() overflow Message-Id: <20100609120153.GF5483@bicker> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: Jeff Garzik Cc: Tejun Heo , Robert Hancock , Vivek Mahajan , linux-ide@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, kernel-janitors@vger.kernel.org cb->atapi.cdb is an array of 16 u8 elements. The call too memset() would set the first part of the sge array to zero as well. It's not a packed struct. This one has been around for five years. I found it with Smatch. I think the reason no one has seen it before is because we normally call sil24_fill_sg() and that overwrites sge with proper information?
