Subject: [PATCH] SUNRPC: Prevent kernel stack corruption on long values of flush
Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2012 00:01:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1342476086-21638-1-git-send-email-levinsasha928@gmail.com> (raw)
The buffer size in read_flush() is too small for the longest possible values
for it. This can lead to a kernel stack corruption:
[ 43.047329] Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: ffffffff833e64b4
