From b5a1eeef04cc7859f34dec9b72ea1b28e4aba07c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Eckelmann Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2011 15:28:36 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] batman-adv: Only write requested number of byte to user buffer Don't write more than the requested number of bytes of an batman-adv icmp packet to the userspace buffer. Otherwise unrelated userspace memory might get overridden by the kernel.
