Hi,
I have just submitted ker/51074: pointer arithmatic error in ugen.c
( http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern%2F51074 )
with this description :
I believe there is a pointer arithmatic error in line 965 of ugen.c .
The entire piece of code reads :
961: /* throw away oldest input if the buffer is full */
962: if(sce->fill < sce->cur && sce->cur <= sce->fill + count) {
963: sce->cur += count;
964: if(sce->cur >= sce->limit)
965: sce->cur = sce->ibuf + (sce->limit - sce->cur);
966: DPRINTFN(5, ("ugen_isoc_rintr: throwing away %d bytes\n",
967: count));
978: }
count gets added to sce->cur .
if the pointer equals/exceeds the end of the buffer, we move it to the
beginnen of the buffer (plus the X bytes it was past the end).
If sce->cur exceeds sce->limit, (sce->cur - sce->limit) would be a negative
value. (resulting in a sce->cur pointer sitting X bytes before the beginning
of the buffer)
-- end --
Could someone please check if I'm correct and apply the patch?
ps: thanks to some mailing-weirdness the pr is marked confidential, which it
shouldn't have been.. :S
thanks,
Daan
