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.
