strncpy() is deprecated [1] and as such we should use different apis to
copy string data.
We can see that ct is NUL-initialized with fc_ct_hdr_fill:
| ct = fc_ct_hdr_fill(fp, op, sizeof(struct fc_ns_rspn) + len,
...
In fc_ct_hdr_fill():
| memset(ct, 0, ct_plen);
We also calculate the length of the source string:
| len = strnlen(fc_host_symbolic_name(lport->host), 255);
then this argument is used in strncpy(), which is bad because the
pattern of (dest, src, strlen(src)) usually leaves the destination
buffer without NUL-termination. However, this seems to be correct in
this instance since fr_name is part of a seq_buf-like structure
monitoring the length:
| struct fc_ns_rspn {
| struct fc_ns_fid fr_fid; /* port ID object */
| __u8 fr_name_len;
| char fr_name[];
| } __attribute__((__packed__));
So, this is really just a byte copy into a length-bounded string. Let's
use memcpy() and mark the buffers as __nonstring.
