Subject: [PATCH net] tipc: Dont send random pad bytes in RESET/ACTIVATE messages
Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2026 12:58:12 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260829115813.188600-1-david.laight.linux@gmail.com> (raw)

The interface name is passed in a fixed length (TIPC_MAX_IF_NAME) buffer.
Replace the strcpy(data, l->if_name) with memcpy() so that the
pad bytes are actually written (l->if_name[] is zero padded)
rather than sending random bytes from the skb to the remote system.

Replace two other strcpy() with strscpy().

Fixes: e74a386d70c7 ("tipc: remove pre-allocated message header in link struct")
