[PATCH 3.18 05/36] net: dont call strlen on non-terminated string in dev_set_alias()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

[ Upstream commit c28294b941232931fbd714099798eb7aa7e865d7 ]

KMSAN reported a use of uninitialized memory in dev_set_alias(),
which was caused by calling strlcpy() (which in turn called strlen())
on the user-supplied non-terminated string.
