The patch titled x86: fix buffer overflow in efi_init() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was x86-fix-buffer-overflow-in-efi_init.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: x86: fix buffer overflow in efi_init() From: Roel Kluin <roel.kluin@xxxxxxxxx> If the vendor name (from c16) can be longer than 100 bytes (or missing a terminating null), then the null is written past the end of vendor[].
