The current code incorrectly accesses buffer[strlen(buffer)], which points
to the null terminator ('\0') at the end of the string. This is
technically out-of-bounds access since valid string content ends at index
strlen(buffer)-1.
Fix by:
1. Declaring strlen() result variable at function scope
2. Adding bounds check (len > 0) to handle empty strings
3. Using buffer[len-1] to correctly access the last character before
the null terminator

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 reStructuredText 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.
