Subject: [PATCH nf] netfilter: ebtables: module names must be null-terminated
Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2026 12:01:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706100137.32588-1-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
We need to explicitly check the length, else we may pass non-null
terminated string to request_module().
Fixes: bcf493428840 ("netfilter: ebtables: Fix extension lookup with identical name")
Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
