[patch 11/20] NET: Ensure device name passed to SO_BINDTODEVICE is NULL terminated.

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

 



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

------------------
The user can pass us arbitrary garbage so we should ensure the
string they give us is null terminated before we pass it on
to dev_get_by_index() et al.
