N/A - CVE-2022-49401

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/page_owner: use strscpy() instead of strlcpy()

current->comm[] is not a string (no guarantee for a zero byte in it).

strlcpy(s1, s2, l) is calling strlen(s2), potentially causing out-of-bound access, as reported by syzbot:
