[PATCH V2] Fix buffer size warning for strcpy

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

 



To meet requirements of Common Criteria certification vulnerability
assessment. Static code analysis has been run and found the following
error:
buffer_size_warning: Calling "strncpy" with a maximum size
argument of 16 bytes on destination array "ve->name" of
size 16 bytes might leave the destination string unterminated.

The change is to make the destination size to fit the allocated size.

V2: Change from zero-terminated to zero-padded on memset and
change from using strncpy to memcpy, feedback from Neil Brown.
