From 29924e5030969c55dbe68074215be5a1f14f1ff1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Ellerman Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2018 15:21:09 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] seq_buf: Use size_t for len in seq_buf_puts() Jann Horn points out that we're using unsigned int for len in seq_buf_puts(), which could potentially overflow if we're passed a UINT_MAX sized string. The rest of the code already uses size_t, so we should also use that in seq_buf_puts() to avoid any issues.
