In diva_mnt_add_xdi_adapter() we do this:
 strcpy (clients[id].drvName,     tmp);
 strcpy (clients[id].Dbg.drvName, tmp);

The "clients[id].drvName" is a 128 character buffer and
"clients[id].Dbg.drvName" was originally a 16 character buffer but I've
changed it to 128 as well.  We don't actually use 128 characters but we
do use more than 16.

I don't see any reason for that change. The driver names here do not use
more than 16 characters and when filled, the length is checked anyway.
Please avoid changing the size of that structure.


drivers/isdn/hardware/eicon/debug.c diva_mnt_add_xdi_adapter()
  874      sprintf (tmp, "ADAPTER:%d SN:%u-%d",
                          12345678 90123 45 67

	That's a minimum 17 characters.

  875               (int)logical,
  876               serial & 0x00ffffff,
  877               (byte)(((serial & 0xff000000) >> 24) + 1));
  878    } else {
  879      sprintf (tmp, "ADAPTER:%d SN:%u", (int)logical, serial);
  880    }

this is tmp with a bigger size. It seems you are mixing the sizes of
drvName and tmp.


What I mean is that later on we use strcpy() to copy "tmp" into
"clients[id].Dbg.drvName"

  927    strcpy (clients[id].drvName,     tmp);
  928    strcpy (clients[id].Dbg.drvName, tmp);
                              ^
                   this buffer is only 16 chars

Now I understand. You are right. So the fix would be to change these strcpy() to e.g. strncpy() or similar.
