[PATCH] x86, mce: Fix stack out-of-bounds write in mce-inject.c:flags_read()

From: Luck, Tony
Date: Fri Apr 27 2018 - 12:37:15 EST


Each of the strings that we want to put into the buf[MAX_FLAG_OPT_SIZE]
in flags_read() is two characters. But the sprintf() adds a trailing newline
and will add a terminating NUL byte. So MAX_FLAG_OPT_SIZE needs to be 4.
