From 4f718a29fe4908c2cea782f751e9805319684e2b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lars-Peter Clausen Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2011 09:44:14 +0100 Subject: firmware: Sigma: Prevent out of bounds memory access The SigmaDSP firmware loader currently does not perform enough boundary size checks when processing the firmware. As a result it is possible that a malformed firmware can cause an out of bounds memory access. This patch adds checks which ensure that both the action header and the payload are completely inside the firmware data boundaries before processing them.
