gl620a.c is some usb to usb computer cable, and lg-vl600.c a usb 4g dongle. Both drivers seem NOT to use skb metadata (they take packet len and count from skb->data directly).
Why would ASIX driver use metadata and others (those 2) don't?
Could not find any info on skb Metadata.
Thanks,

Hi List,Don't have much experience and knowledge in that area.Found this:Checked out a few drivers code and wondered if anybody did a variant analysis of this (possibly yes?) However, it seems like Kernel drivers code for gl620a.c and lg-vl600.c (quick search) don't "Make sure that the bounds of the metadata array are inside the SKB (and in front of the counter at the end)."Example from gl620a.cI think, there is no check for:/* Make sure that the bounds of the metadata array are inside the SKB
* (and in front of the counter at the end).
*/
if (pkt_cnt * 2 + hdr_off > skb->len)
return 0;Most likely false positive. Would be great to verify this and learn about it.Thanks,Marcin
