[PATCH] wireless: wext: terminate ifr name coming from userspace
From: Levin, Alexander (Sasha Levin)
Date: Tue Jul 18 2017 - 00:24:11 EST
ifr name is assumed to be a valid string by the kernel, but nothing
was forcing username to pass a valid string.
In turn, this would cause panics as we tried to access the string
past it's valid memory.
