Subject: [PATCH 1/2] lib: Fix strnlen_user() to not touch memory after specified maximum
Date: Tue,  2 Jun 2015 17:10:28 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1433257829-1743-1-git-send-email-jack@suse.cz> (raw)

If the specified maximum length of the string is a multiple of unsigned
long, we would load one long behind the specified maximum. If that
happens to be in a next page, we can hit a page fault although we were
not expected to.

Fix the off-by-one bug in the test whether we are at the end of the
specified range.
