From: Dan Carpenter Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2014 10:35:25 +0000 Subject: [patch 1/2 -next] mfd: dln2: add a limit check for invalid "echo" Message-Id: <20141113103525.GA17038@mwanda> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: Samuel Ortiz , Octavian Purdila Cc: Lee Jones , linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, kernel-janitors@vger.kernel.org We check the other variables and traditionally we don't trust data from USB devices so adding a check here is normal. This silences a static checker warning. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter --- I am unsure if this fix is correct and I don't have the hardware. Please review this one carefully. The "goto out;" seems to use the invalid data and I don't understand why. diff --git a/drivers/mfd/dln2.c b/drivers/mfd/dln2.c index 9765a17..3101e5e 100644 --- a/drivers/mfd/dln2.c +++ b/drivers/mfd/dln2.c @@ -280,6 +280,11 @@ static void dln2_rx(struct urb *urb) goto out; } + if (echo >= DLN2_MAX_RX_SLOTS) { + dev_warn(dev, "invalid echo %d\n", echo); + goto out; + } + data = urb->transfer_buffer + sizeof(struct dln2_header); len = urb->actual_length - sizeof(struct dln2_header);
