strncpy() is deprecated [1] and as such we should use different apis to copy string data. We can see that ct is NUL-initialized with fc_ct_hdr_fill: | ct = fc_ct_hdr_fill(fp, op, sizeof(struct fc_ns_rspn) + len, ... In fc_ct_hdr_fill(): | memset(ct, 0, ct_plen); We also calculate the length of the source string: | len = strnlen(fc_host_symbolic_name(lport->host), 255); then this argument is used in strncpy(), which is bad because the pattern of (dest, src, strlen(src)) usually leaves the destination buffer without NUL-termination. However, this seems to be correct in this instance since fr_name is part of a seq_buf-like structure monitoring the length: | struct fc_ns_rspn { | struct fc_ns_fid fr_fid; /* port ID object */ | __u8 fr_name_len; | char fr_name[]; | } __attribute__((__packed__)); So, this is really just a byte copy into a length-bounded string. Let's use memcpy() and mark the buffers as __nonstring.
