From 48d97cb65e62a5f1122ac2cf1149800d4f4693e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rene Herman Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2008 19:20:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86: make "apic" an early_param() on 32-bit, NULL check Cyrill Gorcunov observed: > you turned it into early_param so now it's NULL injecting vulnerabled. > Could you please add checking for NULL str param? fix that. Also, change the name of 'str' into 'arg', to make it more apparent that this is an optional argument that can be NULL, not a string parameter that is empty when unset.
