Description

[REJECTED CVE] In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dm: fix copying after src array boundaries

The blammed commit copied to argv the size of the reallocated argv, instead of the size of the old_argv, thus reading and copying from past the old_argv allocated memory.

Fix it by copying the size of src, and not the size of dst, as it was.
