From 2fb40577b05a869904a8fcf7098d26f3c7809644 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2011 09:30:40 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] wl3501_cs: min_t() cast truncates high bits wrqu->encoding.length comes from the network administrator. It's size u16. We want to limit "tocopy" to the smallest value of either "len_keys", "wrqu->encoding.length" or 100. But because .length gets cast from u16 to u8 we might use a random, smaller value than the was desired. It's probably not very serious, but we may as well fix it. Btw, this is from code auditing and not from testing. I don't know if this affects anyone in real life. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: John W.
