[PATCH v2 2/5] scsi: BusLogic: Avoid unbounded `vsprintf' use

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

 



Existing `blogic_msg' invocations do not appear to overrun its internal 
buffer of a fixed length of 100, which would cause stack corruption, but 
it's easy to miss with possible further updates and a fix is cheap in 
performance terms, so limit the output produced into the buffer by using 
`vscnprintf' rather than `vsprintf'.

Changes from v1:

- use `vscnprintf' instead of `vsnprintf' for the correct character count.
