[PATCH] media: rc: ir-lirc-codec: fix potential integer overflow

From: Vasiliy Kulikov
Date: Fri Nov 26 2010 - 12:06:50 EST


'n' may be bigger than MAX_INT*sizeof(int), if so checking of truncated
(int)(n/sizeof(int)) for LIRCBUF_SIZE overflow and then using nontruncated 'count'
doesn't make sense. Also n may be up to sizeof(int)-1 bytes bigger than expected,
so check value of (n % sizeof(int)) too.
