Subject: [PATCH 2/2] xl: NULL terminate buf when reading dom0 /proc/uptime
Date: Wed, 17 Feb 2016 10:34:24 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1455705264-17744-2-git-send-email-ian.campbell@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1455705264-17744-1-git-send-email-ian.campbell@citrix.com>

The contents of /proc/uptime is typically something like "80164.57
640617.58", so the existing 512 byte buffer is more than large enoguh,
so reduce its effective size to 511 bytes and ensure we include a
NULL.

Otherwise Coverity points out that we pass a potentially unterminated
string to strtok. In practice this likely doesn't actually cause
issues (at least on Linux) because the
string should always contain a space so we will stop parsing.

CID: 105590
