Since we use strlen() to determine the length and then check it ourselves, there is really no point in using strncpy.
But the compiler might complain that we use the output of strlen() for the length of strncpy which is usually a sign for bugs: error: ‘strncpy’ specified bound depends on the length of the source argument [-Werror=stringop-overflow=] Warning was at least triggered for mingw-gcc version 10-win32 20220113. v2: - make len size_t and change code to avoid any theoretical overflows - remove useless casts v3: - fix off-by-one introduced by v2 %) Change-Id: If4a67adac4d2e870fd719b58075d39efcd67c671 Signed-off-by: Frank Lichtenheld <fr...@lichtenheld.com> --- src/openvpn/buffer.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/openvpn/buffer.c b/src/openvpn/buffer.c index d099795b..36b28afb 100644 --- a/src/openvpn/buffer.c +++ b/src/openvpn/buffer.c @@ -316,10 +316,10 @@ buf_catrunc(struct buffer *buf, const char *str) { if (buf_forward_capacity(buf) <= 1) { - int len = (int) strlen(str) + 1; - if (len < buf_forward_capacity_total(buf)) + size_t len = strlen(str); + if (buf_size_valid(len) && (len + 1 < buf_forward_capacity_total(buf))) { - strncpynt((char *)(buf->data + buf->capacity - len), str, len); + memcpy(buf->data + buf->capacity - len - 1, str, len + 1); } } } -- 2.34.1 _______________________________________________ Openvpn-devel mailing list Openvpn-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-devel
