Subject: [PATCH] scheduler/cert.c: Fix string comparison (fixes
|
||
|
|
CVE-2022-26691)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The previous algorithm didn't expect the strings can have a different
|
||
|
|
length, so one string can be a substring of the other and such substring
|
||
|
|
was reported as equal to the longer string.
