>Description:
man 9 copystr says:
copystr() Copies a NUL-terminated string, at most len bytes long,
from kernel-space address kfaddr to kernel-space address
kdaddr.
I believe this is incorrect since the destination address is in user
space
>How-To-Repeat:
man 9 copystr
>Fix:
Replace the mentioned piece with:
copystr() Copies a NUL-terminated string, at most len bytes long,
from kernel-space address kfaddr to user-space address
kdaddr.
