buffer->driver_version is sized 32: | struct bmic_host_wellness_driver_version { | ... | char driver_version[32]; ... the source string "Linux " + DRIVER_VERISON is sized at 16. There's really no bug in the existing code since the buffers are sized appropriately with great care taken to manually NUL-terminate the destination buffer. Nonetheless, let's make the swap over to strscpy() for robustness' (and readability's) sake.
