From c28294b941232931fbd714099798eb7aa7e865d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Potapenko Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2017 15:56:54 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: don't call strlen on non-terminated string in dev_set_alias() KMSAN reported a use of uninitialized memory in dev_set_alias(), which was caused by calling strlcpy() (which in turn called strlen()) on the user-supplied non-terminated string.
