From f18c34e483ff6b1d9866472221e4015b3a4698e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Tue, 2 Jun 2015 17:10:28 +0200 Subject: lib: Fix strnlen_user() to not touch memory after specified maximum If the specified maximum length of the string is a multiple of unsigned long, we would load one long behind the specified maximum. If that happens to be in a next page, we can hit a page fault although we were not expected to. Fix the off-by-one bug in the test whether we are at the end of the specified range.
