Subject: staging/bcm: integer underflow leads to Oom
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ee2104ea865f8a12eebb382aa502f248e14a5a2d;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

staging/bcm: integer underflow leads to Oom

We do:

        if (NOB > DEFAULT_BUFF_SIZE)
                BuffSize = DEFAULT_BUFF_SIZE;
        else
                BuffSize = NOB;

Since NOB can be negative it results in a larger than intended BuffSize
and makes kzalloc() fail.

The code is still a bit crap because it lets the users read as much as
they want from nvram, but I don't know what a sensible upper limit
should be.
