Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] scsi: BusLogic: Avoid unbounded `vsprintf' use
Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2021 20:01:52 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.21.2104201939390.44318@angie.orcam.me.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <alpine.DEB.2.21.2104201934280.44318@angie.orcam.me.uk>

Existing `blogic_msg' invocations do not appear to overrun its internal 
buffer of a fixed length of 100, which would cause stack corruption, but 
it's easy to miss with possible further updates and a fix is cheap in 
performance terms, so limit the output produced into the buffer by using 
`vscnprintf' rather than `vsprintf'.

Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@orcam.me.uk>
---
Changes from v1:

- use `vscnprintf' instead of `vsnprintf' for the correct character count.
