Subject: [PATCH] [media] anysee: make sure loading modules is const
Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2014 14:49:04 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141020214904.GA32437@www.outflux.net> (raw)

Make sure that loaded modules are const char strings so we don't
load arbitrary modules in the future, nor allow for format string
leaks in the module request call.
