This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled sunrpc/cache: fix off-by-one in qword_get() to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.16.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.16.7-ckt26.

The qword_get() function NUL-terminates its output buffer. If the input string is in hex format \xXXXX... and the same length as the output buffer, there is an off-by-one: int qword_get(char **bpp, char *dest, int bufsize) { ... while (len < bufsize) { ... *dest++ = (h << 4) | l; len++; } ... *dest = '\0'; return len; } This patch ensures the NUL terminator doesn't fall outside the output buffer.
