Subject: [PATCH 3/3] wifi: carl9170: NUL terminate string in debugfs
Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2026 10:37:50 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <674270ab4aeefa1982362c0ea4132427e14f15eb.1790839793.git.error27@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1790839793.git.error27@gmail.com>
The "buf" buffer comes from the user. We use it to store a number or
two so it doesn't need to be large. It gets passed to sscanf() in the
write functions such as carl9170_debugfs_erp_write(). Ensure that
buffer is NUL terminated.
This is debugfs so it's root only.
Fixes: 00c4da27a421 ("carl9170: firmware parser and debugfs code")
