> Please, have a look at lib/string.c: strstr(NULL, b) will happily start searching at 0x0. So the result will depend on the memory content there. Should the first bytes be "foo, console=bar\0" the address of "console=" will be returned. Or maybe a security controller will stop the process due to illegal memory access.
