[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alex Vesker <valex@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 603b7bcff824740500ddfa001d7a7168b0b38542 ]

The NULL character was not set correctly for the string containing
the command length, this caused failures reading the output of the
command due to a random length. The fix is to initialize the output
length string.
