From 73d1c580f92b203f4c3a189ee98c917c65712f7e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jerry James Date: Sat, 23 Jun 2018 22:49:04 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] kconfig: loop boundary condition fix If buf[-1] just happens to hold the byte 0x0A, then nread can wrap around to (size_t)-1, leading to invalid memory accesses.
