[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 3/3] kvargs: fix a heap buffer overflow when parsing list

[Olivier Matz <olivier.matz@6wind.com>]

From: Yunjian Wang <wangyunjian@huawei.com>

When the input string is "key=[", the ending '\0' is replaced
by a ',', leading to a heap buffer overflow.

Check the content of ctx1 to avoid this problem.

Fixes: cc0579f2339a ("kvargs: support list value")
Cc: stable@dpdk.org
