From: Laszlo Ersek <lersek@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 4.1 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit 630ba0cc7a6dbafbdee43795617c872b35cde1b4 ] The variable_matches() function can currently read "var_name[len]", for example when: - var_name[0] == 'a', - len == 1 - match_name points to the NUL-terminated string "ab". This function is supposed to accept "var_name" inputs that are not NUL-terminated (hence the "len" parameter"). Document the function, and access "var_name[*match]" only if "*match" is smaller than "len".
