Subject: [uml-devel] [PATCH] uml: Read buffer overflow

Message-ID: <4A81D831.5090808@gmail.com> (raw)

Prevent write to write init->argw.argv[SLIRP_MAX_ARGS]

Signed-off-by: Roel Kluin <roel.kluin@gmail.com>
---
If i becomes SLIRP_MAX_ARGS - 1 and `*str != ','` evaluates to
true, then we write init->argw.argv[SLIRP_MAX_ARGS].

Can this occur?
