http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13438
Summary: found overlapping data buffer
Product: SCSI Drivers
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: 2.6.29.3
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: QLOGIC QLA2XXX
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Regression: No
Hello,
i detected an overlapping data buffer at file "[linux-2.6.29.3/drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.c"
For detection, i used the static code analysis tool cppcheck. It prints the following message:
[linux-2.6.29.3/drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.c:545]: (error) Overlapping data buffer buf
Take a loop at file qla_attr.c at line 545:
return snprintf(buf, PAGE_SIZE, "%s\n", buf);
Here, buf is used by iteself, this is dangerous!!!!
Best regards
Ettl Martin

patch: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.scsi/51819
Status: CLOSED PATCH_ALREADY_AVAILABLE hardly seems fair since the patch was posted after the report, no?
