Both add_slot_store() and remove_slot_store() try to fix up the drc_name copied from the store buffer by placing a NULL terminator at nbyte + 1 or in place of a '\n' if present. However, the static buffer that we copy the drc_name data into is not zeored and can contain anything past the n-th byte. This is problematic if a '\n' byte appears in that buffer after nbytes and the string copied into the store buffer was not NULL terminated to start with as the strchr() search for a '\n' byte will mark this incorrectly as the end of the drc_name string resulting in a drc_name string that contains garbage data after the n-th byte. The following debugging shows an example of the drmgr utility writing "PHB 4543" to the add_slot sysfs attribute, but add_slot_store logging a corrupted string value. [135823.702864] drmgr: drmgr: -c phb -a -s PHB 4543 -d 1 [135823.702879] add_slot_store: drc_name = PHB 4543°|<82>!, rc = -19 Fix this by using strscpy() instead of memcpy() to ensure the string is NULL terminated when copied into the static drc_name buffer. Further, since the string is now NULL terminated the code only needs to change '\n' to '\0' when present.
