[PATCH] hostfs: fix string handling in __dentry_name()

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

 



[in viro/vfs.git#fixes, going to Linus unless anyone objects]

strcpy() should not be used with destination potentially overlapping
the source; what's more, strscpy() in there is pointless - we already
know the amount we want to copy; might as well use memcpy().

Fixes: c278e81b8a02 "hostfs: Remove open coded strcpy()"
