[PATCH] mtd: partitions: redboot: Added conversion of operands to a larger type
Posted by Denis Arefev 2 months, 2 weeks ago
The value of an arithmetic expression directory * master->erasesize is
subject to overflow due to a failure to cast operands to a larger data
type before perfroming arithmetic

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
