Subject: [patch] isdn: fix information leak
Date: Thu, 5 Aug 2010 11:38:06 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100805093806.GF9031@bicker> (raw)
The main motivation of this patch changing strcpy() to strlcpy().
We strcpy() to copy a 48 byte buffers into a 49 byte buffers. So at
best the last byte has leaked information, or maybe there is an
overflow? Anyway, this patch closes the information leaks by zeroing
the memory and the calls to strlcpy() prevent overflows.
