Subject: [PATCH 3.8 86/91] staging: wlags49_h2: buffer overflow setting station name

3.8.13.13 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit b5e2f339865fb443107e5b10603e53bbc92dc054 upstream.

We need to check the length parameter before doing the memcpy().  I've
actually changed it to strlcpy() as well so that it's NUL terminated.

You need CAP_NET_ADMIN to trigger these so it's not the end of the
world.
