From 30a22c215a0007603ffc08021f2e8b64018517dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Hurley Date: Sun, 1 Mar 2015 10:11:05 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] console: Fix console name size mismatch commit 6ae9200f2cab7 ("enlarge console.name") increased the storage for the console name to 16 bytes, but not the corresponding struct console_cmdline::name storage. Console names longer than 8 bytes cause read beyond end-of-string and failure to match console; I'm not sure if there are other unexpected consequences.
