From 47bb789973fed504e4711ec34e63b84e6cbfb4e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: dean gaudet Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2006 18:39:17 -0700 Subject: [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.
