This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled vfs: Replace all non-returning strlcpy with strscpy to the 6.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: vfs-replace-all-non-returning-strlcpy-with-strscpy.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 62bd591e6209d5b341b7d4d3ed949cfa732dbf5f Author: Azeem Shaikh <azeemshaikh38@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed May 10 22:11:19 2023 +0000 vfs: Replace all non-returning strlcpy with strscpy [ Upstream commit c642256b91770e201519d037a91f255a617a4602 ] strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first. This read may exceed the destination size limit. This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1]. In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace strlcpy() here with strscpy(). No return values were used, so direct replacement is safe.
