4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ian Rogers <irogers@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ad30469a841b50dbb541df4d6971d891f703c297 ] uniq() will write one command name over another causing the overwritten string to be leaked. Fix by doing a pass that removes duplicates and a second that removes the holes.
