Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 18.11.10

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 08/25/20. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable-queue

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable-queue/commit/f567b9af5186940a95fd9ed8cd19ca6525708229

Thanks.

Kevin.

Subject: [PATCH] cfgfile: fix stack buffer underflow

[ upstream commit 041a3971c8f47f7850586c601b7002652dc9327c ]

If cfgfile is give a line with comment character at the start
of the line, it will dereference outside of the buffer.
