From c57dcb566d3d866a302a1da2e06344bec31d5bcd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ross Lagerwall Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2015 08:39:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] efivarfs: Ensure VariableName is NUL-terminated Some buggy firmware implementations update VariableNameSize on success such that it does not include the final NUL character which results in garbage in the efivarfs name entries.
