Subject: [PATCH] off-by-1 in kernel/power/main.c
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=47bb789973fed504e4711ec34e63b84e6cbfb4e8;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

[PATCH] off-by-1 in kernel/power/main.c

There's an off-by-1 in kernel/power/main.c:state_store() ...  if your
kernel just happens to have some non-zero data at pm_states[PM_SUSPEND_MAX]
(i.e.  one past the end of the array) then it'll let you write anything you
want to /sys/power/state and in response the box will enter S5.
