Insight
Insight
The firewire(4) driver provides support for IEEE 1394 (FireWire) interfaces. This driver provides some of its functionality via the ioctl(2) system call. In the FW_GCROM ioctl, a signed integer comparison is used instead of an unsigned integer comparison when computing the length of a buffer to be copied from the kernel into the calling application.
