Armin Wolf 8bf529571c leds: uleds: Fix potential buffer overread
commit c19fe864f6 upstream.

The name string supplied by userspace is not guaranteed to be
null-terminated, so using strchr() on it might result in a buffer
overread. The same thing will happen when said string is used by
the LED class device.

Fix this by using strnchr() instead and explicitly check that
the name string is properly null-terminated.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
