Description Petr Matousek 2011-03-01 15:30:28 UTC
Description of problem:
Struct ca is copied from userspace.  It is not checked whether the "device"
field is NULL terminated.  This potentially leads to BUG() inside of
alloc_netdev_mqs() and/or information leak by creating a device with a name
made of contents of kernel stack.
