[PATCH net-next 09/10] netfilter: xtables: refactor deprecated strncpy

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
Date: 2023-08-22 15:44:24
Also in: netfilter-devel
Subsystem: netfilter, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Pablo Neira Ayuso, Florian Westphal, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Justin Stitt <justinstitt@google.com>

Prefer `strscpy_pad` as it's a more robust interface whilst maintaing
zero-padding behavior.

There may have existed a bug here due to both `tbl->repl.name` and
`info->name` having a size of 32 as defined below:
|  #define XT_TABLE_MAXNAMELEN 32

This may lead to buffer overreads in some situations -- `strscpy` solves
this by guaranteeing NUL-termination of the dest buffer.
