Subject: [PATCH v2] platform/x86: think-lmi: Fix current password length check
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 10:20:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813082049.41209-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
current_password_store() checks the password length before removing the
trailing newline, which can reject valid passwords that are exactly
->maxlen bytes long.
It also passes ->maxlen to strscpy(), which truncates passwords without
a newline.
Use strchrnul() to measure the password length up to the newline, then
copy that many bytes and add a trailing NUL terminator.
Fixes: a40cd7ef22fb ("platform/x86: think-lmi: Add WMI interface support on Lenovo platforms")
