Subject: [PATCH] tracing/uprobe: Replace strlcpy() with strscpy()
Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2023 12:56:08 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231130205607.work.463-kees@kernel.org> (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].
Additionally, it returns the size of the source string, not the
resulting size of the destination string. In an effort to remove strlcpy()
completely[2], replace strlcpy() here with strscpy().

The negative return value is already handled by this code so no new
handling is needed here.
