Subject: [PATCH] sysctl: fix sizeof argument to match variable name
Date: Sat, 24 Mar 2018 13:23:03 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e0d0531f-361e-ef5f-8499-32743ba907e1@infradead.org> (raw)
From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org>
Fix sizeof argument to be the same as the data variable name.
Probably a copy/paste error.
Mostly harmless since both variables are unsigned int.
Fixes kernel bugzilla #197371:
Possible access to unintended variable in "kernel/sysctl.c" line 1339
