Subject: [LTP] [PATCH 1/3] lib: Avoid loop_info.lo_name buffer overflow
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 14:33:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717-fix_core_library-v1-1-c575fcbb2cb3@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260717-fix_core_library-v1-0-c575fcbb2cb3@suse.com>

From: Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.com>

The backing file path may be longer than the fixed-size lo_name field,
so an unbounded strcpy() can overflow the loop_info structure. Copy at
most the field size and rely on the preceding memset() for termination.
