Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
md: Replace snprintf with scnprintf<br />
<br />
Current code produces a warning as shown below when total characters<br />
in the constituent block device names plus the slashes exceeds 200.<br />
snprintf() returns the number of characters generated from the given<br />
input, which could cause the expression “200 – len” to wrap around<br />
to a large positive number. Fix this by using scnprintf() instead,<br />
which returns the actual number of characters written into the buffer.<br />
