Notes:
 jmm> From Android security bulletin, not sure if it's also an issue with mainline
 bwh> trace_find_cmdline() copies a command name out of the cache
 bwh> (saved_cmdlines) that was first copied from task_struct::comm.
 bwh> That first copy is done without holding the task lock, which can
 bwh> result in reading a garbled name.  However, it is also done with
 bwh> memcpy(), so it always includes the last byte which is always
 bwh> written as 0.  So this seems like a theoretical issue, but maybe
 bwh> I'm missing something.  Also, the fix sets a maximum length 1
 bwh> byte too short.
 bwh> The upstream commit message seems to agree with this.
 carnil> The CVE has been REJECTED, cf.
 carnil> https://marc.info/?l=oss-security&m=150703005326252&w=2
 carnil> keeping the entry in 'retired' in case we need to reevaluate/prove
 carnil> status.
