    media: stk1160: fix bounds checking in stk1160_copy_video() · faa4364b
    Dan Carpenter authored
    The subtract in this condition is reversed.  The ->length is the length
    of the buffer.  The ->bytesused is how many bytes we have copied thus
    far.  When the condition is reversed that means the result of the
    subtraction is always negative but since it's unsigned then the result
    is a very high positive value.  That means the overflow check is never
    true.
    
    Additionally, the ->bytesused doesn't actually work for this purpose
    because we're not writing to "buf->mem + buf->bytesused".  Instead, the
    math to calculate the destination where we are writing is a bit
    involved.  You calculate the number of full lines already written,
    multiply by two, skip a line if necessary so that we start on an odd
    numbered line, and add the offset into the line.
    
    To fix this buffer overflow, just take the actual destination where we
    are writing, if the offset is already out of bounds print an error and
    return.  Otherwise, write up to buf->length bytes.
