If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Colin Ian King commit 13c45007e0a87e912da21223599583fdea677914 upstream. Passing string ch_data_type[i].name as the format specifier is potentially hazardous because it could (although very unlikely to) have a format specifier embedded in it causing issues when parsing the non-existent arguments to these. Follow best practice by using the "%s" format string for the string.
