[PATCH] kconfig/lxdialog: replace strcpy() with strscpy() in inputbox.c

From: Suchit Karunakaran
Date: Fri Jul 25 2025 - 01:59:46 EST


strcpy() performs no bounds checking and can lead to buffer overflows if
the input string exceeds the destination buffer size. Replace it with
strscpy(), which ensures the input is always NULL-terminated and
prevents overflows.
