Date: Sat, 31 May 2008 19:36:06 +0200 (CEST) From: Stefan Richter Subject: firewire: fw-ohci: use of uninitialized data in AR handler header_length and payload_length are filled with random data if an unknown tcode was read from the AR buffer (i.e. if the AR buffer contained invalid data). We still need a better strategy to recover from this, but at least handle_ar_packet now doesn't return out of bound buffer addresses anymore.
