2.6.30-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Dan Aloni commit 02c8baecf5d8850dba40b47cdf003ed2e04e66dd upstream. I repeatedly get __stack_chk_fail panic()s with this driver before applying the attached fix. ieee80211_wx_get_name() ignores sizeof(wrqu->name) which is IFNAMSIZ (16), and on certain conditions, the concatenated string will be larger than IFNAMSIZ including the terminating zero. length ("802.11" ++ "b" ++ "/g" ++ " linked" ++ "\x00") == 17 This fix uses strl{cpy,cat} in addition to the reduction of the total possible length of the output string by a char. It can be applied to 2.6.30-stable as well.
