Subject: [PATCH v2] xtensa: ISS: fix call to split_if_spec
Date: Mon,  3 Jul 2023 11:11:27 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230703181127.1346607-1-jcmvbkbc@gmail.com> (raw)

split_if_spec expects a NULL-pointer as an end marker for the argument
list, but tuntap_probe never supplied that terminating NULL. As a result
incorrectly formatted interface specification string may cause a crash
because of the random memory access. Fix that by adding NULL terminator
to the split_if_spec argument list.
