[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qemu-bridge-helper: restrict bridge name to IFNAMSIZ

[P J P]

From: Prasad J Pandit <address@hidden>

The interface names in qemu-bridge-helper are defined to be
of size IFNAMSIZ(=16), including the terminating null('\0') byte.
The same is applied to interface names read from 'bridge.conf'
file to form ACLs rules. If user supplied '--br=bridge' name
is not restricted to the same length, it could lead to ACL bypass
issue. Restrict bridge name to IFNAMSIZ, including null byte.
