[PATCH] EDAC/thunderx: Fix some potential buffer overflow in thunderx_ocx_com_threaded_isr()

From: Christophe JAILLET
Date: Sat Oct 21 2023 - 13:06:53 EST


strncat() usage in thunderx_ocx_com_threaded_isr() is wrong.
The size given to strncat() is the maximum number of bytes that can be
written, excluding the trailing NULL.

Here, the size of the 'msg' buffer is used (i.e. OCX_MESSAGE_SIZE), not
the space that is remaining.
The space for the ending NULL is also not taken into account.

in order to fix it:
- call decode_register() before the snprintf() calls
- use scnprintf() instead of snprintf() and compute, in the 'remaining'
variable, the space that is still available in the 'msg' buffer
- add a %s at the end of the format strings and append directly the
result of decode_register() stored in 'other'
- write directly at the right position in the 'msg' buffer when
appending some data in the for loop.

Doing so, all usages of strncat() are removed.
