Subject: [PATCH 05/10] scsi: aacraid: linit: Replace snprintf() with the safer scnprintf() variant
Date: Thu,  8 Feb 2024 08:44:17 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240208084512.3803250-6-lee@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240208084512.3803250-1-lee@kernel.org>

There is a general misunderstanding amongst engineers that {v}snprintf()
returns the length of the data *actually* encoded into the destination
array.  However, as per the C99 standard {v}snprintf() really returns
the length of the data that *would have been* written if there were
enough space for it.  This misunderstanding has led to buffer-overruns
in the past.  It's generally considered safer to use the {v}scnprintf()
variants in their place (or even sprintf() in simple cases).  So let's
do that.
