[PATCH] staging: comedi: fix infoleak to userspace

From: Vasiliy Kulikov
Date: Sun Jun 26 2011 - 04:57:28 EST


driver_name and board_name are pointers to strings, not buffers of size
COMEDI_NAMELEN. Copying COMEDI_NAMELEN bytes of a string containing
less than COMEDI_NAMELEN-1 bytes would leak some unrelated bytes.
