Subject: xtensa: ISS: fix call to split_if_spec
From: Max Filippov <jcmvbkbc@xxxxxxxxx>
commit bc8d5916541fa19ca5bc598eb51a5f78eb891a36 upstream.
split_if_spec expects a NULL-pointer as an end marker for the argument
list, but tuntap_probe never supplied that terminating NULL. As a result
incorrectly formatted interface specification string may cause a crash
because of the random memory access. Fix that by adding NULL terminator
to the split_if_spec argument list.
