Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: Loongson: Fix potentially wrong string handling
Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2011 21:41:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1296420104-5679-1-git-send-email-weil@mail.berlios.de> (raw)
This error was reported by cppcheck:
arch/mips/loongson/common/machtype.c:56: error: Dangerous usage of 'str' (strncpy doesn't always 0-terminate it)
If strncpy copied MACHTYPE_LEN bytes, the destination string str
was not terminated.
The patch adds one more byte to str and makes sure that this byte is
always 0.
