Subject: [PATCH] fortify: Fix incorrect reporting of read buffer size
Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2025 16:18:25 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250729231817.work.023-kees@kernel.org> (raw)

When FORTIFY_SOURCE reports about a run-time buffer overread, the wrong
buffer size was being shown in the error message. (The bounds checking
was correct.)

Fixes: 3d965b33e40d ("fortify: Improve buffer overflow reporting")
