[PATCH 04/10] perf tools: Fix out-of-bound access to struct perf_session

From: Robert Richter
Date: Tue Dec 06 2011 - 05:33:04 EST


If filename is NULL there is an out-of-bound access to struct
perf_session if it would be used with perf_session__open(). Shouldn't
actually happen in current implementation as filename is always
!NULL. Fixing this by always null-terminating filename.
