Subject: [PATCH] i2o/i2o_config: Validate message size
Date: Sat,  2 Mar 2013 08:09:21 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1362240561-26167-1-git-send-email-linux@roeck-us.net> (raw)

Message size was already validated against inbound_frame_size, but that does
not guarantee that it is small enough for the buffer used to store a copy of it
on the stack.

Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>
---
I am also not sure if the previous validation can be trusted, since the size
is read again from user space after the initial validation.
