If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Thu Oct 19 15:04:02 CEST 2017 From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2017 17:15:28 +0100 Subject: mac80211_hwsim: check HWSIM_ATTR_RADIO_NAME length From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ff4dd73dd2b4806419f8ff65cbce11d5019548d0 ] Unfortunately, the nla policy was defined to have HWSIM_ATTR_RADIO_NAME as an NLA_STRING, rather than NLA_NUL_STRING, so we can't use it as a NUL-terminated string in the kernel. Rather than break the API, kasprintf() the string to a new buffer to guarantee NUL termination.
