Subject: [PATCH] octeontx2-af: CGX: add bounds check to cgx_speed_mbps index
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
cgx_speed_mbps has 13 elements but RESP_LINKSTAT_SPEED can yield values
0-15. If it returns a value >= 13, this causes an out-of-bounds array
access. Add a bounds check and default to speed 0 if the index is out of
range.

[ Upstream commit 473f8f2d1bfe1103f20140fdc80cad406b4d68c0 ]
`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.
We can see that linfo->lmac_type is expected to be NUL-terminated based
on the `... - 1`'s present in the current code. Presumably making room
for a NUL-byte at the end of the buffer.
Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to
the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer
without unnecessarily NUL-padding.
Let's also prefer the more idiomatic strscpy usage of (dest, src,
sizeof(dest)) rather than (dest, src, SOME_LEN).
