Thanks for reporting this finding. That section of the code is reading /proc/net/dev line by line and comparing the interface name to the requested interface. Linux uses a maximum interface name length of 15 so the overflow shouldn't have a possibility to occur unless /proc/net/dev gets corrupted. That's most likely the reason why this hasn't been found until now (the implementation itself is really old) as static code analysis tools somehow appear to miss this issue.
