From 16837902775f27413f926412551bcf3dddf42b81 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:27:54 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] drm/nouveau/pm: don't read/write beyond end of stack buffer NUL-terminate after strncpy. If the parameter "profile" has length 16 or more, then strncpy leaves "string" with no NUL terminator, so the following search for '\n' may read beyond the end of that 16-byte buffer. If it finds a newline there, then it will also write beyond the end of that stack buffer.
