[PATCH v2] livepatch: fix format string in kobject_init_and_add()

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

 



kobject_init_and_add() takes expects format string for a name, so we 
better provide it in order to avoid infoleaks if modules craft their 
mod->name in a special way.
