The definition of strcat() was defined in terms of unfortified strlcat(), but that meant there was no bounds checking done on the internal strlen() calls, and the (bounded) copy would be performed before reporting a failure. Additionally, pathological cases (i.e. unterminated destination buffer) did not make calls to fortify_panic(), which will make future unit testing more difficult. Instead, explicitly define a fortified strlcat() wrapper for strcat() to use. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
