Subject: [Patch] add check to /proc/devices read routines
Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2005 21:08:27 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050427010827.GA2451@hmsendeavour.rdu.redhat.com> (raw)
Patch to add check to get_chrdev_list and get_blkdev_list to prevent reads of
/proc/devices from spilling over the provided page if more than 4096 bytes of
string data are generated from all the registered character and block devices in
a system
