Date: Tue, 05 May 2015 02:16:39 +0100 From: Ben Hutchings <ben@...adent.org.uk> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, stable@...r.kernel.org CC: akpm@...ux-foundation.org, "Peter Hurley" <peter@...leysoftware.com>, "Greg Kroah-Hartman" <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> Subject: [PATCH 3.2 090/221] console: Fix console name size mismatch 3.2.69-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Peter Hurley <peter@...leysoftware.com> commit 30a22c215a0007603ffc08021f2e8b64018517dd upstream. commit 6ae9200f2cab7 ("enlarge console.name") increased the storage for the console name to 16 bytes, but not the corresponding struct console_cmdline::name storage. Console names longer than 8 bytes cause read beyond end-of-string and failure to match console; I'm not sure if there are other unexpected consequences.
