Subject: [PATCH net-next 04/12] netfilter: avoid strcpy usage
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 12:49:55 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702105003.13550-5-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260702105003.13550-1-fw@strlen.de>
From: David Laight <david.laight.linux@gmail.com>
Replacing strcpy() with strscpy() ensures that overflow of the target
buffer cannot happen.
[ fw@strlen.de: cleanup. netlink policy rejects too large inputs,
xt_recent validates content and length before the copy ]
