Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> [ceph] parse_longname(): strrchr() expects NUL-terminated string<br /> <br /> ... and parse_longname() is not guaranteed that. That&amp;#39;s the reason<br /> why it uses kmemdup_nul() to build the argument for kstrtou64();<br /> the problem is, kstrtou64() is not the only thing that need it.<br /> <br /> Just get a NUL-terminated copy of the entire thing and be done<br /> with that...
