[PATCH] Use strlcpy instead of strncpy in mailmap.c

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



strncpy does not NUL-terminate output in case of output buffer too short,
and map_email prototype (and usage) does not allow for figuring out
what the length of the name is.
