What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tracing: Consider the NULL character when validating the event length

strlen() returns a string length excluding the null byte. If the string

length equals to the maximum buffer length, the buffer will have no

space for the NULL terminating character.

This commit checks this condition and returns failure for it.
