strncpy() is deprecated [1] and we should prefer less ambiguous interfaces. In this case, arvif->u.ap.ssid has its length maintained by arvif->u.ap.ssid_len which indicates it may not need to be NUL-terminated. Make this explicit with __nonstring and use a plain old memcpy. This is also consistent with future copies into arvif->u.ap.ssid: if (changed & BSS_CHANGED_SSID && vif->type == NL80211_IFTYPE_AP) { arvif->u.ap.ssid_len = vif->cfg.ssid_len; if (vif->cfg.ssid_len) memcpy(arvif->u.ap.ssid, vif->cfg.ssid, vif->cfg.ssid_len); arvif->u.ap.hidden_ssid = info->hidden_ssid; } 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 <justinstitt@google.com> --- Changes in v2: - update subject to include wifi - prefer memcpy() over strtomem() (thanks Kalle, Jeff) - rebase onto 6.6-rc7 @d88520ad73b79e71 - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231013-strncpy-drivers-net-wireless-ath-ath10k-mac-c-v1-1-24e40201afa3@google.com --- Note: build-tested only.
