From 293c9c1cef6be46ad72b528fa79c3ff034551fe0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marek Lindner Date: Sat, 27 Apr 2013 16:22:28 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] batman-adv: check proto length before accessing proto string buffer batadv_param_set_ra() strips the trailing '\n' from the supplied string buffer without checking the length of the buffer first. This patches avoids random memory access and associated potential crashes.
