Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] staging: sm750fb: add bounds checking to option parsing in lynxfb_setup()
Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2026 10:15:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260204101536.3311-1-iprintercanon@gmail.com> (raw)
Replace strcat() with memcpy() and add explicit bounds checking on the
remaining buffer space before each copy. The original code lacked any
validation that the write position stays within the allocated buffer.
