[PATCH] udf: use strscpy() instead of strcpy() for regid ident field
From: Mahad Ibrahim
Date: Sat Jun 27 2026 - 14:20:04 EST
strcpy() is deprecated as it performs no bounds checking. Replace the
three call sites that copy UDF_ID_DEVELOPER into the regid ident field
with strscpy().
The current string fits the field with room to spare, so there is no
overflow today. strscpy() bounds the copy to the destination and
NUL-terminates, keeping it safe if the string or the field size
changes later.
