Subject: [PATCH v2] usbip: usbip_host: Replace strlcpy with strscpy
Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2023 14:10:26 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230614141026.2113749-1-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().
Direct replacement is safe here since return value of -errno
is used to check for truncation instead of sizeof(dest).
