[PATCH v6] EDAC/mc: Prefer strscpy or scnprintf over strcpy
From: Len Baker <hidden>
Date: 2021-09-03 15:06:17
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() [1]. However, to simplify and clarify the code, to concatenate labels use the scnprintf() function. This way it is not necessary to check the return value of strscpy (-E2BIG if the parameter count is 0 or the src was truncated) since the scnprintf returns always the number of chars written into the buffer. This function returns always a nul-terminated string even if it needs to be truncated. The main reason behind this patch is to remove all the strcpy() uses from the kernel with the purpose to clean up the proliferation of str*cpy() functions. Later on, the next step will be remove all the strcpy implementations [2].

I hope there are no objections. Thanks, Len Changelog v1 -> v2 - Use the strscpy() instead of scnprintf() to add labels and follow a code pattern more similar to the current one (advance "p" and decrement "left") (Robert Richter). Changelog v2 -> v3 - Rename the "left" variable to "len" (Robert Richter). - Use strlen(p) instead of strlen(OTHER_LABEL) to decrement "len" and increment "p" as otherwise "left" could underflow and p overflow (Robert Richter). Changelog v3 -> v4 - Change the commit subject (Joe Perches). - Fix broken logic (Robert Richter). - Rebase against v5.14-rc5. Changelog v4 -> v5 - Change the commit subject. - Clarify why the change is being made by adding more info to the commit message (Borislav Petkov). - Use scnprintf instead of strscpy (Joe Perches). - Rebase against v5.14-rc7. Changelog v5 -> v6 - Rebase against v5.14. - Refactor the code to use a more common scnprintf mechanism (Joe Perches).
