Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] strscpy: zero any trailing garbage bytes in the destination
Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2015 15:23:49 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1444159429-4788-4-git-send-email-cmetcalf@ezchip.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1444159429-4788-1-git-send-email-cmetcalf@ezchip.com>
It's possible that the destination can be shadowed in userspace
(as, for example, the perf buffers are now). So we should take
care not to leak data that could be inspected by userspace.
