Stacktrace locates it in\nath5k_eeprom_convert_pcal_info_5111.\nWhen none of the curve is selected in the loop, idx can go\nup to AR5K_EEPROM_N_PD_CURVES. The line makes pd out of bound.\npd = &chinfo[pier].pd_curves[idx];\n\nThere are many OOB writes using pd later in the code. So I\nadded a sanity check for idx. Checks for other loops involving\nAR5K_EEPROM_N_PD_CURVES are not needed as the loop index is not\nused outside the loops.\n\nThe patch is NOT tested with real device.\n\nThe following is the fuzzing
