strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces.
There is a _nearly_ identical implementation of fill_psinfo present in binfmt_elf.c -- except that one uses get_task_comm over strncpy(). Let's mirror that in binfmt_elf_fdpic.c Link: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/deprecated.html#strncpy-on-nul-terminated-strings [1] Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/90 Cc: linux-hardening@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Justin Stitt <justinst...@google.com> --- Changes in v2: - use get_task_comm (thanks Eric) - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240321-strncpy-fs-binfmt_elf_fdpic-c-v1-1-fdde26c89...@google.com --- Note: build-tested only.
