Subject: [PATCH v2] dio: Fix buffer overflow in case of unknown board
Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2019 10:24:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190121092422.18544-1-geert@linux-m68k.org> (raw)

With gcc 8.2.0:

    drivers/dio/dio.c: In function ‘dio_init’:
    drivers/dio/dio.c:240:17: warning: ‘strcpy’ writing 69 or more bytes into a region of size 64 overflows the destination [-Wstringop-overflow=]
		     strcpy(dev->name,dio_getname(dev->id));
		     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Indeed, if an unknown board is present, the target buffer will overflow.
Shorten the unknown board name string to fix this, and declare it as an
array while at it.

Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>

v2:
  - Declare unknowndioname as an array.
