[PATCH] staging/fbtft: Remove all strcpy() uses

From: Len Baker
Date: Sun Jul 18 2021 - 09:40:08 EST


strcpy() performs no bounds checking on the destination buffer. This
could result in linear overflows beyond the end of the buffer, leading
to all kinds of misbehaviors. The safe replacement is strscpy() but in
this case it is simpler to add NULL to the first position since we want
to empty the string.

This is a previous step in the path to remove the strcpy() function.
