- malloc() does not zero the buffer, - fread() does not null-terminate it's output, - `cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern | hexdump -C` shows the file is not inherently null-terminated So using string operations on the buffer is risky. Explicitly add a null character to the end to make it safer. --- tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/ptrace/core-pkey.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
