[PATCH] lib: Always NUL terminate ucs2_as_utf8

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

 



If the caller, in this case efivarfs_callback(), only provides sufficent
room for the expanded utf8 and not enough to include the terminating NUL
byte, that NUL byte is skipped. When the caller then interprets it as a
string, it may then read from past its allocated memory:
