Subject: [PATCH] sysfs: sysfs_pathname/sysfs_add_one: Use strlcat() instead of strcat()
Date: Sat, 29 Sep 2012 22:23:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1348950199-30460-1-git-send-email-geert@linux-m68k.org> (raw)
The warning check for duplicate sysfs entries can cause a buffer overflow
when printing the warning, as strcat() doesn't check buffer sizes.
Use strlcat() instead.
Since strlcat() doesn't return a pointer to the passed buffer, unlike
strcat(), I had to convert the nested concatenation in sysfs_add_one() to
an admittedly more obscure comma operator construct, to avoid emitting code
for the concatenation if CONFIG_BUG is disabled.
