[PATCH nf-next 1/1] netfilter: Use strlcpy to copy dev name instead of strncpy

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

 



From: Gao Feng <fgao@xxxxxxxxxx>

The current codes use strncpy to copy the dev name in
nf_tables_newchain, there is no real issue now. Because the sizes of
src and dst are IFNAMSIZ. But normally it should use count-1 with
strncpy, because strncpy doesn't make sure the dst must be
NULL-terminated when src exceeds the count bytes.
So use strlcpy to replace the strncpy to make it clearer.
