Subject: firewire: fw-ohci: use of uninitialized data in AR handler
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ccff962943df539c5860aa120eecc189d70a308b;p=linux-beck.git

firewire: fw-ohci: use of uninitialized data in AR handler

header_length and payload_length are filled with random data if an
unknown tcode was read from the AR buffer (i.e. if the AR buffer
contained invalid data).

We still need a better strategy to recover from this, but at least
handle_ar_packet now doesn't return out of bound buffer addresses
anymore.
