The use of work_ints is a bit opaque, it might be clearer if you define
a struct, something like:
struct cc_prop {
u32 ?;
u32 ?;
u32 name_offset;
u32 length;
u32 value_offset;
};
cc = (struct cc_prop *)workarea;
name = workarea + cc->name_offset;
..
prop->length = cc->length;
value = workarea + cc->value_offset;
etc.
Also I don't see any checking of the offsets into workarea (for name &
value), vs the size of workarea.
cheers
