From 952348a5f88b92e412f3e490fb83acc17e68d85c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Thu, 26 Nov 2015 14:55:23 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] rt2x00: type bug in _rt2500usb_register_read() This code causes a static checker bug. drivers/net/wireless/ralink/rt2x00/rt2500usb.c:232 _rt2500usb_register_read() warn: passing casted pointer 'value' to 'rt2500usb_register_read()' 32 vs 16. If the low 16 bits were initialized to zero then this code would only be a problem on big endian systems. But in this case this is case the low 16 bits are never initialized. This is called from a function which is created using a macro: RT2X00DEBUGFS_OPS(csr, "0x%.8x\n", u32); We end up copying uninitialized data to the user which is bogus and an information leak.
