[PATCH] modpost: fix buffer overflow

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I got SIGABRT in modpost when building a module really deeply nested in
a filesystem (path > 100 chars):

>   Building modules, stage 2.
>   MODPOST
> *** glibc detected *** scripts/mod/modpost: realloc(): invalid next size: 0x0809f588 ***
> [...]

This patch fixes that problem.
