Subject: ath5k: fix buffer overrun in rate debug code
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b7fcb5c4a4c27da2f6d86cb03d18687e537442cf;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

ath5k: fix buffer overrun in rate debug code

char bname[5] is too small for the string "X GHz" when the null
terminator is taken into account.  Thus, turning on rate debugging
can crash unless we have lucky stack alignment.
