Hello!

I have found a small but annoying bug in the SCSI CDROM driver of linux
2.1.132. (in the module sr_ioctl.c)

If the user calls CDROMREADMODE1 (or similar) with an invalid LBA, the
buffers which were allocated with scsi_malloc() remain allocated because
the function is left without calling scsi_free(). If the user continues
calling with invalid LBA, this eats up all available buffers.

If you have further questions please mail me directly because I have not
subscribed this list.

Greetings

Alexander Feigl
