    drivers/media/platform/sti/delta/delta-ipc.c: fix read buffer overflow · ed0d8dc1
    Andi Kleen authored
    The single caller passes a string to delta_ipc_open, which copies with a
    fixed size larger than the string.  So it copies some random data after
    the original string the ro segment.
    
    If the string was at the end of a page it may fault.
    
    Just copy the string with a normal strcpy after clearing the field.
    
    Found by a LTO build (which errors out)
    because the compiler inlines the functions and can resolve
    the string sizes and triggers the compile time checks in memcpy.
    
    In function `memcpy',
