Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: hidp: fix buffer overflow

From: Young Xiao <YangX92@...mail.com>

Struct ca is copied from userspace. It is not checked whether the "name"
field is NULL terminated, which allows local users to obtain potentially
sensitive information from kernel stack memory, via a HIDPCONNADD command.

This vulnerability is similar to CVE-2011-1079.
