Subject: [PATCH] scsi: qla2xxx/qla_attr.c: fix undefined behavior in using snprintf
Date: Thu,  7 Feb 2013 16:50:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1360252222-30877-1-git-send-email-dinggnu@gmail.com> (raw)

The original code
	snprintf(buf, PAGE_SIZE, "%s\n", buf);
uses buf as both source and destination string, which is undefined behavior
based on C11:
	If copying takes place between objects
	that overlap, the behavior is undefined.
