Hi Krishna,

Thanks for the quick feedback and sorry the patch wasn't quite right.
However, the log is accurate: there is at least a theoretical problem
when the string in "model" (a buffer of size 16 bytes) has strlen >= 12.
While strncat does not require that its second argument be NUL-terminated,
the first one (the destination) must be.  Otherwise, it has no way to
determine the end of the string to which it must append the source bytes.

Here is a v2 patch to which I've added the requisite (char*) cast.
However, this whole function is rather unreadable due to the
repetition (12 times!) of "(char *)&port_cfg->sym_name".
In case someone prefers to factor out that repetition,
I've appended a larger, v3 patch to do that.

Subject: [PATCHv2] bfa: avoid buffer overrun for 12-byte model name

we use strncpy to copy a model name of length up to 15 (16, if you count
the NUL), into a buffer of size 12 (BFA_FCS_PORT_SYMBNAME_MODEL_SZ).
However, strncpy does not always NUL-terminate, so whenever the original
model string has strlen >= 12, the following strncat reads beyond end
of the ->sym_name buffer as it attempts to find end of string.
