From d8d022e03354635b0ca186f05dc39e9950a9222f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Ian King Date: Sat, 27 Oct 2018 15:49:26 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] pcrypt: use format specifier in kobject_add commit b1e3874c75ab15288f573b3532e507c37e8e7656 upstream. Passing string 'name' as the format specifier is potentially hazardous because name could (although very unlikely to) have a format specifier embedded in it causing issues when parsing the non-existent arguments to these. Follow best practice by using the "%s" format string for the string 'name'.
