Subject: [PATCH RESEND] mtip32xx: fix potential crash on SEC_ERASE_UNIT
Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2012 15:12:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121025141133.30303.3712.stgit@bob.linux.org.uk> (raw)
(Resending to the list as the maintainer is not responding to direct email)
From: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com>
The mtip driver lifted this code from elsewhere and then added a special
handling check for SEC_ERASE_UNIT. If the caller tries to do a security
erase but passes no output data for the command then outbuf is not
allocated and the driver duly explodes.
