Subject: [patch] [PARISC] sys_hpux: NUL terminator is one past the end
Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2014 15:20:20 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140731152020.GB31539@mwanda> (raw)
We allocate "len" number of chars so we should put the NUL at "len - 1"
to avoid corrupting memory. Btw, strlen_user() is different from the
normal strlen() function because it includes NUL terminator in the
count.
