    kconfig: require a space after '#' for valid input · 4d137ab0

    Currently, when an input line starts with '#', (line + 2) is passed to
    memcmp() without checking line[1].
    
    It means that line[1] can be any arbitrary character. For example,
    "#KCONFIG_FOO is not set" is accepted as valid input, functioning the
    same as "# CONFIG_FOO is not set".
    
    More importantly, this can potentially lead to a buffer overrun if
    line[1] == '\0'. It occurs if the input only contains '#', as
    (line + 2) points to an uninitialized buffer.
    
    Check line[1], and skip the line if it is not a space.
