Subject: [PATCH 3.5 06/90] libertas: potential oops in debugfs
3.5.7.27 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>
commit a497e47d4aec37aaf8f13509f3ef3d1f6a717d88 upstream.
If we do a zero size allocation then it will oops. Also we can't be
sure the user passes us a NUL terminated string so I've added a
terminator.
This code can only be triggered by root.
