Subject: [rfc] netfilter: copy less data to the user
Date: Wed, 14 Jul 2010 23:04:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100714210430.GB5164@bicker> (raw)
Smatch complains that we copy too much data to the user in ebtables.
We copied EBT_FUNCTION_MAXNAMELEN (32) characters to the user here, but
"m->u.match->name" has XT_EXTENSION_MAXNAMELEN (29) characters.
I'm not sure if this is a bug where someone got confused with m->u.name
which has 32 characters or if this is done for backwards compatability.
