[PATCH] drivers/staging/bcm: Integer overflow

From: Wenliang Fan
Date: Fri Dec 20 2013 - 02:13:37 EST


The checking condition in 'validateFlash2xReadWrite()' is not sufficient.
A large number invalid would cause an integer overflow and pass
the condition, which could cause further integer overflows in
'Bcmchar.c:bcm_char_ioctl()'.
