[PATCH 1/3] staging: fbtft: use strncpy instead of strcpy

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

 



Using strcpy() is a security risk as the destination buffer size is not
checked and we may over-run the buffer. Use strncpy() instead, while
mentioning the buffer size leaving place for the NULL termination.
