[PATCH] smb: client: Use snprintf in cifs_set_cifscreds
From: Thorsten Blum
Date: Thu Feb 26 2026 - 17:17:01 EST
Replace unbounded sprintf() calls with the safer snprintf(). Avoid using
magic numbers and use strlen() to calculate the key descriptor buffer
size. Save the size in a local variable and reuse it for the bounded
snprintf() calls. Remove CIFSCREDS_DESC_SIZE.
