buffer in proc_read

[taha hafeez <tawushafeez@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everybody...

{This is my first mail..... exited...}

I came across a number of programs that write into the buffer (*page
below) provided by the read callback for /proc filesystem without taking
into consideration the 'count' variable.

int (*read_proc)(char *page, char **start, off_t offset, int count,
                 int *eof, void *data);

Won't it overflow ?

regards
taha
