[PATCH v2] dio: Fix buffer overflow in case of unknown board

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

 



With gcc 8.2.0:

    drivers/dio/dio.c: In function ‘dio_init’:
    drivers/dio/dio.c:240:17: warning: ‘strcpy’ writing 69 or more bytes into a region of size 64 overflows the destination [-Wstringop-overflow=]
		     strcpy(dev->name,dio_getname(dev->id));
		     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Indeed, if an unknown board is present, the target buffer will overflow.
Shorten the unknown board name string to fix this, and declare it as an
array while at it.
