Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2013 09:58:25 -0500 From: Xi Wang <xi.wang@...il.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@...ssion.com>, Xi Wang <xi.wang@...il.com>, stable@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] sysctl: fix null checking in bin_dn_node_address() The null check of `strchr() + 1' is broken, which is always non-null, leading to OOB read. Instead, check the result of strchr().
