[patch] libertas: fix write past end of array in mesh_id_get()

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

 



defs.meshie.val.mesh_id is 32 chars long.  It's not supposed to be NUL
terminated.  This code puts a terminator on the end to make it easier to
print to sysfs.  The problem is that if the mesh_id fills the entire
buffer the original code puts the terminator one spot past the end.

The way the original code was written, there was a check to make sure
that maxlen was less than PAGE_SIZE.  Since we know that maxlen is at
most 34 chars, I just removed the check.
