[PATCH] scripts/kallsyms: fix memory corruption caused by write over-run

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

 



scripts/kallsyms crashes because memcpy() writes one more byte than
allocated.

Fixes: 8d60526999aa ("scripts/kallsyms: change table to store (strcut sym_entry *)")
