Con este comando, es posible acceder a p\u00e1ginas de modo mayores de 255 bytes. Sin embargo, el campo de longitud de asignaci\u00f3n del CDB se establece asignando len solo al byte 8, truncando as\u00ed la longitud del b\u00fafer mayor de 255. 2) Si se llama a scsi_mode_sense() con len menor que 8 con sdev->use_10_for_ms establecido, o menor que 4 en caso contrario, la longitud del b\u00fafer aumenta a 8 y 4 respectivamente, y el b\u00fafer se rellena con ceros con estos valores aumentados, corrompiendo as\u00ed la memoria que sigue al b\u00fafer.

Para evitar desbordamientos de longitud de b\u00fafer para el caso de MODE_SENSE(10), verifique que len sea menor a 65535 bytes.
