[PATCH 14/30] thermal: fix potential out-of-bounds memory access

From: Len Brown
Date: Tue Oct 09 2012 - 02:09:14 EST


From: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

temp_crit.name and temp_input.name have a length of 16 bytes. Using
THERMAL_NAME_LENGTH (20) as length parameter for snprintf() may result in
out-of-bounds memory accesses. Replace it with sizeof().

Addresses Coverity #115679
