From 8fed562e63f3bf7ab2ddabaf1b31de49e03c4083 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Gibson Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2025 15:28:04 +1100 Subject: passt-repair: Correct off-by-one error verifying name passt-repair will generate an error if the name it gets from the kernel is too long or not NUL terminated. Downstream testing has reported occasionally seeing this error in practice. In turns out there is a trivial off-by-one error in the check: ev->len is the length of the name, including terminating \0 characters, so to check for a \0 at the end of the buffer we need to check ev->name[len - 1] not ev->name[len].
