The value of "size" comes from the user. When we add "start + size" it
could lead to an integer overflow bug.
It means we vmalloc() a lot more memory than we had intended. I believe
that on 64 bit systems vmalloc() can succeed even if we ask it to
allocate huge 4GB buffers. So we would get memory corruption and likely
a crash when we call ha->isp_ops->write_optrom() and ->read_optrom().
Only root can trigger this bug.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
