Subject: [PATCH] KEYS: Replace all non-returning strlcpy with strscpy
Date: Thu, 18 May 2023 04:15:13 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230518041513.1669386-1-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.
