Hello Vasanthakumar,
Smatch complains that in linux-next 60e0c3a7 "ath9k_hw: Eeeprom changes
for AR9485" means there is a potential read past the end of the buffer
int ar9300_eeprom_restore_internal().
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ar9003_eeprom.c +3381
ar9300_eeprom_restore_internal(81)
error: buffer overflow 'word' 2048 <= 4099
"word" is allocated with 2048 bytes:
word = kzalloc(2048, GFP_KERNEL);
"length" can be up to 4099:
if ((!AR_SREV_9485(ah) && length >= 1024) ||
(AR_SREV_9485(ah) && length >= (4 * 1024))) {
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
so "osize" can be up to 4099 as well:
osize = length;
We're reading way past the end of the word array here:
mchecksum = word[COMP_HDR_LEN + osize] |
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(word[COMP_HDR_LEN + osize + 1] << 8);
I don't know how to fix this. Can you take a look?
regards,
dan carpenter
