From c2dbda07662eb84dfe07887775d08eb1536c2d22 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ruben Wauters Date: Thu, 1 May 2025 21:23:55 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: ip_tunnel: Replace strcpy use with strscpy Use of strcpy is decpreated, replaces the use of strcpy with strscpy as recommended. strscpy was chosen as it requires a NUL terminated non-padded string, which is the case here. I am aware there is an explicit bounds check above the second instance, however using strscpy protects against buffer overflows in any future code, and there is no good reason I can see to not use it. I have also replaced the scrscpy above that had 3 params with the version using 2 params. These are functionally equivalent, but it is cleaner to have both using 2 params.
