From 9dfef3adaebb42163d691be73e05b12da440cbe5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yuval Mintz Date: Sun, 5 Jan 2014 18:33:53 +0200 Subject: bnx2x: fix AFEX memory overflow There are 2 different (related) flows in the slowpath configuration that utilize the same pointer and cast it to different structs; This is obviously incorrect as the intended allocated memory is that of the smaller struct, possibly causing the flow utilizing the larger struct to corrupt other slowpath configuration. Since both flows are exclusive, set the allocated memory to be a union of both structs. Reported-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: Yuval Mintz Signed-off-by: Ariel Elior Signed-off-by: David S.
