[patch] virtio_console: use snprintf() for safety

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

 



My static checker complains that this sprintf() can overflow.

vdev->index is selected by ida_simple_get() in register_virtio_device()
so my reading of the code is that this overflow is theoretically
possible.  The max value of "id" is configurable and I'm not sure what
typical values are.

Anyway, it's simple enough to make the buffer larger and I changed it to
snprintf() as well.
