[PATCH v3] staging: rtl8723bs: stop overreading monitor interface name

From: Amirhossein Hajimohammadi

Date: Tue Sep 29 2026 - 15:07:40 EST


From: AmirHossein HajiMohammadi <info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

cfg80211 passes a NUL-terminated interface name. memcpy() always reads
IFNAMSIZ + 1 bytes, even when the caller supplied a shorter string.

Use strscpy() to stop at the terminator and bound the write to the
destination buffer.

Changes in v3:
- Add an explicit From header matching the Signed-off-by identity.
