Subject: [PATCH] net: use scnprintf() to avoid potential buffer overflow
Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2010 07:32:58 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1282692778-2945-1-git-send-email-xiaosuo@gmail.com> (raw)
strlcpy() returns the total length of the string they tried to create, so
we should not use its return value without any check. scnprintf() returns
the number of characters written into @buf not including the trailing '\0',
so use it instead here.
