Subject: [patch v2] acpi_pad: "processor_aggregator" name too long
Date: Thu, 25 Mar 2010 17:41:22 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100325144122.GF5069@bicker> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100325142738.GD1602@ucw.cz>

cpi_device_class can only be 19 characters and a NULL terminator.

With the current name we get a buffer overflow in acpi_pad_add()
	strcpy(acpi_device_class(device), ACPI_PROCESSOR_AGGREGATOR_CLASS);

V2: Thanks to Pavel Machek for coming up with the right name for this.
