Subject: [PATCH iproute 1/3] lib: don't build printf formats out of names
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 13:03:02 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261019200623.816470-2-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261019200623.816470-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
print_string_name_value() and print_uint_name_value() snprintf'd the
caller's name into a 64-byte buffer and used it as the printf format, so
a '%' in the name was taken as a conversion and names over 63 bytes lost
their value to truncation. Pass the name as a string argument with a
literal format instead.
Fixes: 31ca29b2bec4 ("json_print: Introduce print_#type_name_value")
