Subject: [PATCH] staging: rtl8723bs: fix copy of overlapping memory
Date: Sun, 26 Jan 2020 22:05:49 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200126220549.9849-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

Currently the rtw_sprintf prints the contents of thread_name
onto thread_name and this can lead to a potential copy of a
string over itself. Avoid this by printing the literal string RTWHALXT
instread of the contents of thread_name.

Addresses-Coverity: ("copy of overlapping memory")
Fixes: 554c0a3abf21 ("staging: Add rtl8723bs sdio wifi driver")
