[PATCH 2/2] partitions/aix: append null character to print data from disk

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Even if properly initialized, the lvname array (i.e., strings)
is read from disk, and might contain corrupt data (e.g., lack
the null terminating character for strings).

So, make sure the partition name string used in pr_warn() has
the null terminating character.

Fixes: 6ceea22bbbc8 ("partitions: add aix lvm partition support files")
