Hi all,
I'm starting work on a new checker that looks at user pointers and makes
sure that they're treated safely. It should catch things such as format
string holes, derefrencing a user pointer, and passing a user pointer to a
trusting function (i.e. the destination of copy_from_user). Here are a
couple of the reports so far. I just want to verify that these are holes
and that I'm on the right track. Also, if you have any ideas please send
them my way.
Thanks,
Ken Ashcraft
