Subject: [patch 2/2] staging: r8188eu: overflow in rtw_p2p_get_go_device_address()
Date: Mon, 03 Feb 2014 22:38:35 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140203223835.GB28874@elgon.mountain> (raw)

The go_devadd_str[] array is two characters too small to hold the
address so we corrupt memory.

I've changed the user space API slightly and I don't have a way to test
if this breaks anything.  In the original code we truncated away the
last digit of the address and the NUL terminator so it was already a bit
broken.
