Kees Cook cd22874fec scsi: qedf: Avoid reading past end of buffer
Using memcpy() from a string that is shorter than the length copied
means the destination buffer is being filled with arbitrary data from
the kernel rodata segment. Instead, use strncpy() which will fill the
trailing bytes with zeros.

This was found with the future CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE feature.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
