[PATCH] gen_init_cpio: allocate enough space for dname

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

 



From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The allocation of dname is short by 1 byte, so increase the allocation
size.

Detected with CoverityScan, CID#711628 ("Out-of-bounds-access (OVERRUN)")
