From 201f99f170df14ba52ea4c52847779042b7a623b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2013 22:06:04 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] uml: check length in exitcode_proc_write() We don't cap the size of buffer from the user so we could write past the end of the array here. Only root can write to this file.
