[01/10] Libertas: fix buffer overflow in lbs_get_essid()

[Greg KH]

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Daniel Mack <daniel at caiaq.de>

commit 45b241689179a6065384260242637cf21dabfb2d upstream.

The libertas driver copies the SSID buffer back to the wireless core and
appends a trailing NULL character for termination. This is

a) unnecessary because the buffer is allocated with kzalloc and is hence
   already NULLed when this function is called, and

b) for priv->curbssparams.ssid_len == 32, it writes back one byte too
   much which causes memory corruptions.

Fix this by removing the extra write.
