#1638447 — [PATCH] libertas: Avoid reading past end of buffer

FromKees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

Subject[PATCH] libertas: Avoid reading past end of buffer
Message-ID<tFmJQ-9n-5@gated-at.bofh.it>
Using memcpy() from a string that is shorter than the length copied means
the destination buffer is being filled with arbitrary data from the kernel
rodata segment. Instead, use strncpy() which will fill the trailing bytes
with zeros. Additionally adjust indentation to keep checkpatch.pl happy.

This was found with the future CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE feature.

The better solution is to declare
mesh_stat_strings in in the normal way

Ah yeah! And that simplifies the memcpy too, since it can just do it
in one go. New patch on the way...
