From: Rickard Strandqvist > Replacing strncpy with strlcpy to avoid strings that lacks null terminate. > And changed from using strncpy to strlcpy to simplify code. I think you should return an error if the strings get truncated. Silent truncation is going to lead to issues at some point in the future (in some places). > Signed-off-by: Rickard Strandqvist <rickard_strandqvist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmfmac/dhd_sdio.c | 25 ++++++++++---------- > 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmfmac/dhd_sdio.c > b/drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmfmac/dhd_sdio.c > index f55f625..d20d4e6 100644 > --- a/drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmfmac/dhd_sdio.c > +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmfmac/dhd_sdio.c > @@ -670,7 +670,6 @@ static int brcmf_sdio_get_fwnames(struct brcmf_chip *ci, > struct brcmf_sdio_dev *sdiodev) > { > int i; > - uint fw_len, nv_len; > char end; > > for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(brcmf_fwname_data); i++) { > @@ -684,25 +683,25 @@ static int brcmf_sdio_get_fwnames(struct brcmf_chip *ci, > return -ENODEV; > } > > - fw_len = sizeof(sdiodev->fw_name) - 1; > - nv_len = sizeof(sdiodev->nvram_name) - 1; > /* check if firmware path is provided by module parameter */ > if (brcmf_firmware_path[0] != '\0') { > - strncpy(sdiodev->fw_name, brcmf_firmware_path, fw_len); > - strncpy(sdiodev->nvram_name, brcmf_firmware_path, nv_len); > - fw_len -= strlen(sdiodev->fw_name); > - nv_len -= strlen(sdiodev->nvram_name); > + strlcpy(sdiodev->fw_name, brcmf_firmware_path, > + sizeof(sdiodev->fw_name)); > + strlcpy(sdiodev->nvram_name, brcmf_firmware_path, > + sizeof(sdiodev->nvram_name)); > > end = brcmf_firmware_path[strlen(brcmf_firmware_path) - 1]; If you are doing a strlen() here, you could use the length for the copy and/or use it to avoid the strcat(). > if (end != '/') { > - strncat(sdiodev->fw_name, "/", fw_len); > - strncat(sdiodev->nvram_name, "/", nv_len); > - fw_len--; > - nv_len--; > + strlcat(sdiodev->fw_name, "/", > + sizeof(sdiodev->fw_name)); > + strlcat(sdiodev->nvram_name, "/", > + sizeof(sdiodev->nvram_name)); > } > } > - strncat(sdiodev->fw_name, brcmf_fwname_data[i].bin, fw_len); > - strncat(sdiodev->nvram_name, brcmf_fwname_data[i].nv, nv_len); > + strlcat(sdiodev->fw_name, brcmf_fwname_data[i].bin, > + sizeof(sdiodev->fw_name)); > + strlcat(sdiodev->nvram_name, brcmf_fwname_data[i].nv, > + sizeof(sdiodev->nvram_name)); I assume something ensures that fw_name[0] == 0 here.
