What it is

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

leds: uleds: Fix potential buffer overread

The name string supplied by userspace is not guaranteed to be

null-terminated, so using strchr() on it might result in a buffer

overread. The same thing will happen when said string is used by

the LED class device.

Fix this by using strnchr() instead and explicitly check that

the name string is properly null-terminated.
