[PATCH v2 next] ACPI: APEI: EINJ: prevent memory corruption in error_type_set()

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

 



The "einj_buf" buffer is 32 chars.  Verify that "count" is not too large
for that.  Also leave the last character as a NUL terminator to ensure
the string is properly terminated.

v2: I messed up the sizeof() calculation in the copy_from_user() and I put
    the parentheses in the wrong place in v1.
