Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] Fix off-by-one bug limiting VNC passwords to 7 chars
Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2008 10:25:02 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081125102502.GJ2380@arachsys.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20081125100935.GI2380@arachsys.com>

Fix off-by-one bug limiting VNC passwords to 7 characters instead of 8

monitor_readline expects buf_size to include the terminating \0, but
do_change_vnc in monitor.c calls it as though it doesn't. The other site
where monitor_readline reads a password (in vl.c) passes the buffer length
correctly.
