different runs). Looking at code, the following looks suspicious -- we
limit copy by 512 bytes, but use the original count which can be
larger than 512:
static void sixpack_receive_buf(struct tty_struct *tty,
const unsigned char *cp, char *fp, int count)
{
unsigned char buf[512];
....
memcpy(buf, cp, count < sizeof(buf) ? count : sizeof(buf));
....
sixpack_decode(sp, buf, count1);
On commit 0f98f121e1670eaa2a2fbb675e07d6ba7f0e146f of linux-next.With the sane tty locking we now have I believe the following is safe as we consume the bytes and move them into the decoded buffer before returning.
