[PATCH] sysfs: zero terminate sysfs write buffers (CVE-2006-1055)
No one should be writing a PAGE_SIZE worth of data to a normal sysfs file, so properly terminate the buffer. Thanks to Al Viro for pointing out my stupidity here. CVE-2006-1055 has been assigned for this. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
