From 361371201b60ffd686a694c848c1d5ad6061725f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Balbir Singh Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2008 13:14:07 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] uml: boot broken due to buffer overrun mconsole_init() passed 256 bytes as length in os_create_unix_socket, while the sizeof UNIX_PATH_MAX is 108. This patch fixes that problem and avoids a big overrun bug reported on UML bootup. sockaddr_un.sun_path is UNIX_PATH_MAX long which causes the problem.
