[PATCH] tty: vt: keyboard: do not copy an extra-byte in copy_to_user

From: Ajay Garg <hidden>
Date: 2021-11-06 09:21:01
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest, tty layer and serial drivers · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Jiri Slaby

Both (statically-allocated) "user_kdgkb->kb_string" and
(dynamically-allocated) "kbs" are of length "len", so we must
not copy more than "len" bytes.
