Subjectpatch "ihex: Check if zero-length record is at the end of the blob" added to driver-core-next
From
Date

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

ihex: Check if zero-length record is at the end of the blob

to my driver-core git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git
in the driver-core-next branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will also be merged in the next major kernel release
during the merge window.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: ihex: Check if zero-length record is at the end of the blob

When verifying the validity of IHEX file we need to make sure that
zero-length record we found is located at the end of the file. Not
doing that could result in an invalid file with a bogus zero-length in
the middle short-circuiting the check and being reported as valid.
