Hi I found this using smatch (http://repo.or.cz/w/smatch.git).
drivers/net/tulip/de4x5.c
4772 lp->active = *p++;
4773 if (MOTO_SROM_BUG) lp->active = 0;
4774 lp->phy[lp->active].gep = (*p ? p : NULL); p += (2 * (*p) + 1);
lp->phy is an array of size 8.
MOTO_SROM_BUG is defined like this.
#define MOTO_SROM_BUG (lp->active == 8 && (get_unaligned_le32(dev->dev_addr) & 0x00ffffff) == 0x3e0008)
If lp->active == 8 then we have a buffer overflow.
