Code at line 967 implies that rsp->fwdata.supported_fec may be up to 4:

 967: if (rsp->fwdata.supported_fec <= FEC_MAX_INDEX)
Thanks for pointing this. I missed this case .
rsp->fwdata.supported_fec range  is 0 to 3.  Certainly 4 causes out-of-bounds.
But proper fix is 
-  if (rsp->fwdata.supported_fec <= FEC_MAX_INDEX)
+ : if (rsp->fwdata.supported_fec < FEC_MAX_INDEX)

Thanks,
Hariprasad k




quoted hunk
If rsp->fwdata.supported_fec evaluates to 4, then there is an out-of-bounds
read at line 971 because fec is an array with a maximum of 4 elements:

 954         const int fec[] = {
 955                 ETHTOOL_FEC_OFF,
 956                 ETHTOOL_FEC_BASER,
 957                 ETHTOOL_FEC_RS,
 958                 ETHTOOL_FEC_BASER | ETHTOOL_FEC_RS};
 959 #define FEC_MAX_INDEX 4

 971: fecparam->fec = fec[rsp->fwdata.supported_fec];

Fix this by properly indexing fec[] with rsp->fwdata.supported_fec - 1.
In this case the proper indexes 0 to 3 are used when
rsp->fwdata.supported_fec evaluates to a range of 1 to 4, correspondingly.
