ath9k: fix buffer overrun for ar9287 2016-04-30T22:05:18+00:00 Arnd Bergmann arnd@arndb.de 2016-03-14T14:18:36+00:00 1b8363d0f0b36155d823e6c99f6c818de1b697cc commit 83d6f1f15f8cce844b0a131cbc63e444620e48b5 upstream. Code that was added back in 2.6.38 has an obvious overflow when accessing a static array, and at the time it was added only a code comment was put in front of it as a reminder to have it reviewed properly. This has not happened, but gcc-6 now points to the specific overflow: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/eeprom.c: In function 'ath9k_hw_get_gain_boundaries_pdadcs': drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/eeprom.c:483:44: error: array subscript is above array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds] maxPwrT4[i] = data_9287[idxL].pwrPdg[i][4]; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~ It turns out that the correct array length exists in the local 'intercepts' variable of this function, so we can just use that instead of hardcoding '4', so this patch changes all three instances to use that variable.

commit 83d6f1f15f8cce844b0a131cbc63e444620e48b5 upstream.

Code that was added back in 2.6.38 has an obvious overflow
when accessing a static array, and at the time it was added
only a code comment was put in front of it as a reminder
to have it reviewed properly.

This has not happened, but gcc-6 now points to the specific
overflow:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/eeprom.c: In function 'ath9k_hw_get_gain_boundaries_pdadcs':
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/eeprom.c:483:44: error: array subscript is above array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds]
     maxPwrT4[i] = data_9287[idxL].pwrPdg[i][4];
                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~

It turns out that the correct array length exists in the local
'intercepts' variable of this function, so we can just use that
instead of hardcoding '4', so this patch changes all three
instances to use that variable. The other two instances were
already correct, but it's more consistent this way.

carl9170: fix sending URBs with wrong type when using full-speed 2014-09-13T22:41:44+00:00 Ronald Wahl ronald.wahl@raritan.com 2014-08-07T12:15:50+00:00 67fddd870e5dfc50d104e721ceee13b01db93069 commit 671796dd96b6cd85b75fba9d3007bcf7e5f7c309 upstream. The driver assumes that endpoint 4 is always an interrupt endpoint. Unfortunately the type differs between high-speed and full-speed configurations while in the former case it is indeed an interrupt endpoint this is not true for the latter case - here it is a bulk endpoint. When sending URBs with the wrong type the kernel will generate a warning message including backtrace. In this specific case there will be a huge amount of warnings which can bring the system to freeze. To fix this we are now sending URBs to endpoint 4 using the type found in the endpoint descriptor. A side note: The carl9170 firmware currently specifies endpoint 4 as interrupt endpoint even in the full-speed configuration but this has no relevance because before this firmware is loaded the endpoint type is as described above and after the firmware is running the stick is not reenumerated and so the old descriptor is used.
