Date: Thu, 9 May 2013 12:56:44 +0200 From: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@...istici.org> To: davem@...emloft.net Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, b.a.t.m.a.n@...ts.open-mesh.org, Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@...oo.de>, Antonio Quartulli <ordex@...istici.org> Subject: [PATCH 1/4] batman-adv: check proto length before accessing proto string buffer From: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@...oo.de> batadv_param_set_ra() strips the trailing '\n' from the supplied string buffer without checking the length of the buffer first. This patches avoids random memory access and associated potential crashes.
