Subject: [patch v2] libertas: potential oops in debugfs
Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2013 20:12:51 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131030171251.GA4130@longonot.mountain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20131025144452.GA28451@ngolde.de>

If we do a zero size allocation then it will oops.  Also we can't be
sure the user passes us a NUL terminated string so I've added a
terminator.

This code can only be triggered by root.
