From eff79aee91dd07e944df65fa448c8baeee7709d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2008 14:13:03 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] arch/x86/kernel/pci-calgary_64.c: change simple_strtol to simple_strtoul Impact: fix theoretical option string parsing overflow Since bridge is unsigned, it would seem better to use simple_strtoul that simple_strtol. A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @r2@ long e; position p; @@ e = simple_strtol@p(...) @@ position p != r2.p; type T; T e; @@ e = - simple_strtol@p + simple_strtoul (...) // Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Cc: muli@il.ibm.com Cc: jdmason@kudzu.us Cc: discuss@x86-64.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- arch/x86/kernel/pci-calgary_64.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/pci-calgary_64.c b/arch/x86/kernel/pci-calgary_64.c index e1e731d..d28bbdc 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/pci-calgary_64.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/pci-calgary_64.c @@ -1567,7 +1567,7 @@ static int __init calgary_parse_options(char *p) ++p; if (*p == '\0') break; - bridge = simple_strtol(p, &endp, 0); + bridge = simple_strtoul(p, &endp, 0); if (p == endp) break; -- 2.7.4
