From f0a515780393dffbb363e6d1567da46af6f3c5f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sasha Levin Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2015 07:06:58 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Don't make assumptions about length of string on task rename While the dest comm string size is assured to be at least TASK_COMM_LEN long, doing a memcpy() also adds the assumption that the source is at least that long as well, which isn't assured, and isn't true in cases such as: set_task_comm(worker->task, "kworker/dying"); This leads to accessing invalid memory.
