So we either proof read every use, or we replace those functions with dedicated functions (ie. something like {memcpy|strlcpy}_{to|from}_user()) which can make the necessary checks themselves. While the current method is more convenient to use, the latter would be much safer to use. In any case, it might be helpful to check if both arguments are in the kernel to find this problem. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/8650#comment:4> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
