Subject: kconfig: nconf: Ensure null termination where strncpy is used
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f468992936894c9ce3b1659cf38c230d33b77a16;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

kconfig: nconf: Ensure null termination where strncpy is used

strncpy() does not guarantee null-termination if the source string is
longer than the destination buffer.

Ensure the buffer is explicitly null-terminated to prevent potential
string overflows or undefined behavior.
