tg3_read_partno(): possible array overrun

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The Coverity checker noted the following in drivers/net/tg3.c:

<--  snip  -->

...
static void __devinit tg3_read_partno(struct tg3 *tp)
{
        unsigned char vpd_data[256];
        int i;
...
        /* Now parse and find the part number. */
        for (i = 0; i < 256; ) {
                unsigned char val = vpd_data[i];
                int block_end;

                if (val == 0x82 || val == 0x91) {
                        i = (i + 3 +
                             (vpd_data[i + 1] +
                              (vpd_data[i + 2] << 8)));
                        continue;
                }

                if (val != 0x90)
                        goto out_not_found;

                block_end = (i + 3 +
                             (vpd_data[i + 1] +
                              (vpd_data[i + 2] << 8)));
                i += 3;
...

<--  snip  -->

The problem is that vpd_data[i + 2] could be vpd_data[255 + 2].

        of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
       "Only a promise," Lao Er said.
