Subject: [PATCH] hfsplus: replace unbounded sprintf() in hfsplus_{lookup,link,unlink}
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 11:06:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424090633.307300-3-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
While the current code works correctly, replace unbounded sprintf()
calls with the safer scnprintf() in hfsplus_lookup(), hfsplus_link(),
and hfsplus_unlink() to follow secure coding best practices.
