[PATCH next] ACPI: APEI: EINJ: prevent memory corruption in error_type_set()

From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Wed Jun 25 2025 - 11:27:54 EST


The "einj_buf" buffer is 32 chars. Verify that "count" is not too large
for that. Also leave the last character as a NUL terminator to ensure
the string is properly terminated.

Fixes: 0c6176e1e186 ("ACPI: APEI: EINJ: Enable the discovery of EINJv2 capabilities")
