[PATCH] accessibility: speakup: Fix incorrect string length computation in report_char_chartab_status()

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

 



snprintf() returns the "number of characters which *would* be generated for
the given input", not the size *really* generated.

In order to avoid too large values for 'len' (and potential negative
values for "sizeof(buf) - (len - 1)") use scnprintf() instead of
snprintf().

Fixes: c6e3fd22cd53 ("Staging: add speakup to the staging directory")

I guess that the -1 in the 2nd snprintf() call is here to overwrite the
ending \n.
