Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/2] keys, dns: drop unused upayload->data NUL terminator
Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2026 19:58:09 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260406175810.1018681-3-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
In dns_resolver_preparse(), do not NUL-terminate ->data and allocate one
byte less. The NUL terminator is never used and only ->datalen bytes are
accessed.
