Subject: [PATCH v2] drivers/iio: Remove all strcpy() uses in favor of strscpy()
Date: Sat,  7 Aug 2021 17:22:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210807152225.9403-1-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().

This patch is an effort to clean up the proliferation of str*()
functions in the kernel and a previous step in the path to remove
the strcpy function from the kernel entirely [1].

Changelog v1 -> v2
- Modify the commit changelog to inform that the motivation of this
  patch is to remove the strcpy() function from the kernel entirely
  (Jonathan Cameron).
