[PATCH v2 1/3] staging: fbtft: Fix buffer overflow vulnerability

From: Tobin C. Harding
Date: Tue Feb 14 2017 - 22:28:14 EST


Module copies a user supplied string (module parameter) into a buffer
using strncpy() and does not check that the buffer is null terminated.

Replace call to strncpy() with call to strlcpy() ensuring that the
buffer is null terminated.
