From 90ceb2a3ad868f800eb1c9f4ede650daddd94b77 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean Delvare Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2017 16:16:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kernel/params.c: fix the maximum length in param_get_string The length parameter of strlcpy() is supposed to reflect the size of the target buffer, not of the source string. Harmless in this case as the buffer is PAGE_SIZE long and the source string is always much shorter than this, but conceptually wrong, so let's fix it.
