From c65b9145f40da99cad000f81823265dc70e5fcf9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2008 13:20:00 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] uevent: don't pass envp_ext[] as format string in kobject_uevent_env() kobject_uevent_env() uses envp_ext[] as verbatim format string which can cause problems ranging from unexpectedly mangled string to oops if a string in envp_ext[] contains substring which can be interpreted as format. Fix it.
