Subject: [PATCH] staging/rtl8192u: Remove all strcpy() uses in favor of strscpy()
Date: Sun, 18 Jul 2021 13:32:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210718113207.10045-1-len.baker@gmx.com> (raw)
strcpy() performs no bounds checking on the destination buffer. This
could result in linear overflows beyond the end of the buffer, leading
to all kinds of misbehaviors. The safe replacement is strscpy().
