[PATCH v2 1/2] iio: core: Use scnprintf() for avoiding potential buffer overflow

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

 



snprintf() is a hard-to-use function, it's especially difficult to use
it for concatenating substrings in a buffer with a limited size.
Since snprintf() returns the would-be-output size, not the actual
size, the subsequent use of snprintf() may go beyond the given limit
easily.  Although the current code doesn't actually overflow the
buffer, it's an incorrect usage.

This patch replaces such snprintf() calls with a safer version,
scnprintf().
