Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next] ipv4: ip_tunnel: Replace strcpy use with strscpy
Date: Thu,  1 May 2025 21:23:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250501202935.46318-1-rubenru09@aol.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20250501202935.46318-1-rubenru09.ref@aol.com

Use of strcpy is decpreated, replaces the use of strcpy with strscpy as
recommended.

strscpy was chosen as it requires a NUL terminated non-padded string,
which is the case here.

I am aware there is an explicit bounds check above the second instance,
however using strscpy protects against buffer overflows in any future
code, and there is no good reason I can see to not use it.

I have also replaced the scrscpy above that had 3 params with the
version using 2 params. These are functionally equivalent, but it is
cleaner to have both using 2 params.
