Subject: [PATCH] drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy: adding check length for parameter buf
Date: Sun, 20 Jan 2013 17:53:54 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <50FBBEB2.2000306@asianux.com> (raw)
the parameter 'const char *buf' may be not '\0' based string.
so need check the length before use it.
additinal info:
originally, it had the relative checking.
but it was deleted when fix another issues (using strlcpy instead of
strncpy)
and now, we need restore the checking (but still keep strlcpy)
