[PATCH] hfsplus: replace unbounded sprintf() in hfsplus_{lookup,link,unlink}
From: Thorsten Blum
Date: Fri Apr 24 2026 - 05:07:20 EST
While the current code works correctly, replace unbounded sprintf()
calls with the safer scnprintf() in hfsplus_lookup(), hfsplus_link(),
and hfsplus_unlink() to follow secure coding best practices.
