[PATCH v2 net-next] ipv4: ip_tunnel: Replace strcpy use with strscpy
From: Ruben Wauters
Date: Thu May 01 2025 - 17:02:19 EST
Use of strcpy is decpreated, replaces the use of strcpy with strscpy as
recommended.
strscpy was chosen as it requires a NUL terminated non-padded string,
which is the case here.
I am aware there is an explicit bounds check above the second instance,
however using strscpy protects against buffer overflows in any future
code, and there is no good reason I can see to not use it.
I have also replaced the scrscpy above that had 3 params with the
version using 2 params. These are functionally equivalent, but it is
cleaner to have both using 2 params.
