From c642256b91770e201519d037a91f255a617a4602 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Azeem Shaikh Date: Wed, 10 May 2023 22:11:19 +0000 Subject: vfs: Replace all non-returning strlcpy with strscpy strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first. This read may exceed the destination size limit. This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1]. In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace strlcpy() here with strscpy(). No return values were used, so direct replacement is safe.
