Subject: [PATCH] comedi: drivers: ni_routes: Use strcmp() instead of memcmp()
Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2022 09:10:17 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220215171017.1247291-1-keescook@chromium.org> (raw)

The family and device comparisons were using memcmp(), but this could
lead to Out-of-bounds reads when the length was larger than the
buffers being compared. Since these appear to always be NUL-terminated
strings, just use strcmp() instead.

This was found with Clang under LTO:
