From 26919411acfafe35365bbb02205aa8484b2d2726 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Horman Date: Mon, 14 Oct 2024 09:52:25 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] net: dsa: microchip: copy string using strscpy Prior to this patch ksz_ptp_msg_irq_setup() uses snprintf() to copy strings. It does so by passing strings as the format argument of snprintf(). This appears to be safe, due to the absence of format specifiers in the strings, which are declared within the same function. But nonetheless GCC 14 warns about it: .../ksz_ptp.c:1109:55: warning: format string is not a string literal (potentially insecure) [-Wformat-security] 1109 | snprintf(ptpmsg_irq->name, sizeof(ptpmsg_irq->name), name[n]); | ^~~~~~~ .../ksz_ptp.c:1109:55: note: treat the string as an argument to avoid this 1109 | snprintf(ptpmsg_irq->name, sizeof(ptpmsg_irq->name), name[n]); | ^ | "%s", As what we are really dealing with here is a string copy, it seems make sense to use a function designed for this purpose. In this case null padding is not required, so strscpy is appropriate. And as the destination is an array of fixed size, the 2-argument variant may be used.
