[PATCH v2] kconfig/lxdialog: replace strcpy() with strlcpy() in inputbox.c
From: Suchit Karunakaran
Date: Sat Jul 26 2025 - 13:55:41 EST
strcpy() performs no bounds checking and can lead to buffer overflows if
the input string exceeds the destination buffer size. This patch replaces
it with strlcpy(), which ensures the input is always NULL-terminated,
prevents overflows, following kernel coding guidelines.
