From 558e10a57db10de355ee97712d2b6df49e9b7849 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Diego Calleja Date: Sat, 5 Aug 2006 21:15:58 -0700 Subject: [LAPB]: Fix windowsize check In bug #6954, Norbert Reinartz reported the following issue: "Function lapb_setparms() in file net/lapb/lapb_iface.c checks if the given parameters are valid. If the given window size is in the range of 8 .. 127, lapb_setparms() fails and returns an error value of LAPB_INVALUE, even if bit LAPB_EXTENDED in parms->mode is set. If bit LAPB_EXTENDED in parms->mode is set and the window size is in the range of 8 .. 127, the first check "(parms->mode & LAPB_EXTENDED)" results true and the second check "(parms->window < 1 || parms->window > 127)" results false. Both checks in conjunction result to false, thus the third check "(parms->window < 1 || parms->window > 7)" is done by fault. This third check results true, so that we leave lapb_setparms() by 'goto out_put'. Seems that this bug doesn't cause any problems, because lapb_setparms() isn't used to change the default values of LAPB. We are using kernel lapb in our software project and also change the default parameters of lapb, so we found this bug" He also pasted a fix, that I've transformated into a patch: Signed-off-by: Diego Calleja Signed-off-by: David S.
