[PATCH] kconfig/lxdialog: replace strcpy with snprintf in print_autowrap
From: Suchit Karunakaran
Date: Sat Jul 26 2025 - 15:43:29 EST
strcpy() does not perform bounds checking and can lead to buffer overflows
if the source string exceeds the destination buffer size. In
print_autowrap(), replace strcpy() with snprintf() to safely copy the
prompt string into the fixed-size tempstr buffer.
