From 98de4e0ea47d106846fc0e30ce4e644283fa7fc2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Levin, Alexander" Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2017 04:23:16 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] wireless: wext: terminate ifr name coming from userspace ifr name is assumed to be a valid string by the kernel, but nothing was forcing username to pass a valid string. In turn, this would cause panics as we tried to access the string past it's valid memory. Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin Signed-off-by: David S.
