Subject: [PATCH] cgroup: Replace all non-returning strlcpy with strscpy
Date: Wed, 17 May 2023 14:49:10 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230517144910.1521547-1-azeemshaikh38@gmail.com> (raw)
strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.
This read may exceed the destination size limit.
This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read
overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].
In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace
strlcpy() here with strscpy().
No return values were used, so direct replacement is safe.
