Bug#698473: rtl8192e: Crashes on amd64
Package: src:linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-46
Severity: important
Tags: upstream patch fixed-upstream
It uses skb->tail as a pointer to the end of the frame to be
transmitted, but on 64-bit architectures skb->tail is a (small)
offset. This is effectively a null pointer dereference.
Fixed by commit 1c7ec2e8e0fb6e8acda4f6b9a682cf7f8e650e2f upstream.
Ben.
