[PATCH 3.4 33/39] powerpc/vio: use strcpy in modalias_show

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Nov 26 2013 - 21:01:42 EST


3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 411cabf79e684171669ad29a0628c400b4431e95 upstream.

Commit e82b89a6f19bae73fb064d1b3dd91fcefbb478f4 used strcat instead of
strcpy which can result in an overflow of newlines on the buffer.
