[PATCH 1/1] cgroups: strcpy destination string overflow

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

 



From: Evgeny Kuznetsov <ext-eugeny.kuznetsov@xxxxxxxxx>

Function "strcpy" is used without check for maximum allowed source
string length and could cause destination string overflow.
Check for string length is added before using "strcpy".
Function now is return error if source string length is more than
a maximum.
