From: Kees Cook keescook@chromium.org
[ Upstream commit e48d661eb13f2f83861428f001c567fdb3f317e8 ]
Using memcpy() from a buffer that is shorter than the length copied means the destination buffer is being filled with arbitrary data from the kernel rodata segment. In this case, the source was made longer, since it did not match the destination structure size. Additionally removes a needless cast.
This was found with the future CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE feature.
