  "summary": "leds: uleds: Fix potential buffer overread",
  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nleds: uleds: Fix potential buffer overread\n\nThe name string supplied by userspace is not guaranteed to be\nnull-terminated, so using strchr() on it might result in a buffer\noverread. The same thing will happen when said string is used by\nthe LED class device.\n\nFix this by using strnchr() instead and explicitly check that\nthe name string is properly null-terminated.",
