From a3b2c8c7aa1ca860edcf0b0afa371d9eb2269c3c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathias Krause Date: Fri, 31 May 2013 23:24:29 +0200 Subject: debugfs: write_file_bool() - ensure strtobool() operates on valid data In case, userland writes an empty string to a bool debugfs file, buf[] will still be uninitialized when being passed to strtobool() making the outcome of that function purely random. Fix this by always zero-terminating the buffer.
