Subject: isdn: icn: Fix stack overflow bug
Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2010 23:39:38 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1290573578.30543.461.camel@gandalf.stny.rr.com> (raw)
Running randconfig with ktest.pl I hit this bug:

Looking into it I found that the stack was corrupted by the assignment
of the Rev #. The variable rev is given 10 bytes, and in this output the
characters that were copied was: " 1.65.6.8 $". Which was 11 characters
plus the null ending character for a total of 12 bytes, thus corrupting
the stack.
This patch ups the variable size to 20 bytes as well as changes the
strcpy to strncpy. I also added a check to make sure '$' is found.
