However, snprintf() returns the length of the formatted string, not the raw bytes. For IPv4 this can be up to 15 characters (255.255.255.255) and for IPv6 up to 39. tmp_buf is then advanced by (err + 1) using the full string length, which can push tmp_buf past tmp_buf_end. The next iteration's bounds check underflows due to unsigned arithmetic and passes, allowing a write past the end of the per-CPU bin_args buffer. Fix this by checking against the maximum formatted string size: 16 bytes for IPv4 and 40 bytes for IPv6.
