Subject: [PATCH 2/2] hwrng: virtio - use snprintf() in probe_common()
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2026 07:58:55 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260926055853.4868-4-blum@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260926055853.4868-3-blum@kernel.org>
While the current code works correctly, replace the unbounded sprintf()
with the safer snprintf() to follow secure coding best practices.
