The maximum size for a DiSEqC command is 6, according to the userspace API. However, the code allows to write up much more values: drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cx24116.c:983 cx24116_send_diseqc_msg() error: buffer overflow 'd->msg' 6 <= 23 Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Kamal Mostafa <kamal@canonical.com> --- drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cx24116.c | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) -- 1.9.1
