From 9ef8927f45f2f8e365cda7cda81c079f29b8ad74 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Ian King Date: Sat, 30 Mar 2019 00:46:28 +0000 Subject: n_tty: check for negative and zero space return from tty_write_room The return from tty_write_room could potentially be negative if a tty write_room driver returns an error number (not that any seem to do). Rather than just check for a zero return, also check for a -ve return. This avoids the unsigned nr being set to a large unsigned value on the assignment from variable space and can lead to overflowing the buffer buf. Better to be safe than assume all write_room implementations in tty drivers are going to do the right thing.
