From cbd375567f7e4811b1c721f75ec519828ac6583f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: stephen hemminger Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2013 22:32:07 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] htb: fix sign extension bug When userspace passes a large priority value the assignment of the unsigned value hopt->prio to signed int cl->prio causes cl->prio to become negative and the comparison is with TC_HTB_NUMPRIO is always false. The result is that HTB crashes by referencing outside the array when processing packets. With this patch the large value wraps around like other values outside the normal range.
