Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] cfgfile: fix integer overflow
Date: Fri, 22 Apr 2016 12:41:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1461321661-30272-1-git-send-email-michalx.kobylinski@intel.com> (raw)

Fix issue reported by Coverity.

Coverity ID 13289: Integer overflowed argument: The argument will be too
small or even negative, likely resulting in unexpected behavior (for
example, under-allocation in a memory allocation function).
In rte_cfgfile_load: An integer overflow occurs, with the overflowed
value used as an argument to a function

Fixes: eaafbad419bf ("cfgfile: library to interpret config files")
