[PATCH] netfilter: h323: bug in parsing of ASN1 SEQOF field

From: David Sterba
Date: Tue Mar 22 2011 - 07:55:49 EST


Static analyzer of clang found a dead store which appears to be a bug in
reading count of items in SEQOF field, only the lower byte of word is
stored. This may lead to corrupted read and communication shutdown.

The bug has been in the module since it's first inclusion into linux
kernel.
