 of bounds string access ?

Hello there,

[linux-4.2-rc2/drivers/net/ethernet/brocade/bna/bfa_ioc.c:2843]: (error) Buffer is accessed out of bounds.

Source code is

    memcpy(manufacturer, BFA_MFG_NAME, BFA_ADAPTER_MFG_NAME_LEN);

and

#define BFA_MFG_NAME "QLogic"

and

$ fgrep BFA_ADAPTER_MFG_NAME_LEN `find linux-4.2-rc2/drivers/net/ethernet/brocade/ -name \*.h -print`
linux-4.2-rc2/drivers/net/ethernet/brocade/bna/bfa_defs.h:    BFA_ADAPTER_MFG_NAME_LEN    = 8,   /*!< manufacturer name length */
$

so the code attempts to read eight bytes from a seven byte string. Suggest code rework.

Regards

David Binderman
