From 5676005acf26ab7e924a8438ea4746e47d405762 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chen Gang Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2013 17:12:54 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/pseries/lparcfg: Fix possible overflow are more than 1026 need set '\0' for 'local_buffer'. SPLPAR_MAXLENGTH is 1026, RTAS_DATA_BUF_SIZE is 4096. so the contents of rtas_data_buf may truncated in memcpy. if contents are really truncated. the splpar_strlen is more than 1026. the next while loop checking will not find the end of buffer. that will cause memory access violation.
