Subject: [patch] ksz884x: don't copy too much in netdev_set_mac_address()
Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2012 10:00:19 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120419070018.GA16645@elgon.mountain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1334758394.3209.156.camel@deadeye>

MAX_ADDR_LEN is 32.  ETH_ALEN is 6.  mac->sa_data is a 14 byte array, so
the memcpy() is doing a read past the end of the array.  I asked about
this on netdev and Ben Hutchings told me it's supposed to be copying
ETH_ALEN bytes (thanks Ben).
