[PATCH] bluetooth: bnep: fix buffer overflow

From: Vasiliy Kulikov <hidden>
Date: 2011-02-14 10:54:58

Struct ca is copied from userspace.  It is not checked whether the "device"
field is NULL terminated.  This potentially leads to BUG() inside of
alloc_netdev_mqs() and/or information leak by creating a device with a name
made of contents of kernel stack.
