This code is printing hex values to the &local_txbuf buffer and it's using the snprintf() function to try prevent buffer overflows. The problem is that it's not passing the correct limit to the snprintf() function so the limit doesn't do anything. On each iteration we print two digits so the remaining size should also decrease by two, but instead it passes the sizeof() the entire buffer each time. If the frame->len were too long it would result in a buffer overflow. I've also changed the function from snprintf() to scnprintf(). The difference between the two functions is that snprintf() returns the number of bytes which would have been printed if there were space while the scnprintf() function returns the number of bytes which are actually printed.
