Subject: [musl] [PATCH 1/2] fix error checking in pthread_getname_np
Date: Sat, 10 Jul 2021 00:24:59 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210710032500.9249-1-ericonr@disroot.org> (raw)

len is unsigned and can never be smaller than 0. though unlikely, an
error in read() would have lead to an out of bounds write to name.
