Subject: [PATCH] dm: fix copying after src array boundaries
Date: Tue, 06 May 2025 11:31:50 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250506-dm-past-array-boundaries-v1-1-b5b1bb8b2b34@linaro.org> (raw)

The blammed commit copied to argv the size of the reallocated argv,
instead of the size of the old_argv, thus reading and copying from
past the old_argv allocated memory.

Following BUG_ON was hit:

Fix it by copying the size of src, and not the size of dst, as it was.
