There is no bug here, but the code is not perfect either. It copies
sizeof(pkt_dev->/member/) - 1 from user space into buf, and then does
a strcmp(pkt_dev->/member/, buf) hence assuming buf will be null-terminated
and shorter than pkt_dev->/member/ (pkt_dev->/member/ is never
explicitly null-terminated, and strncpy() doesn't have to null-terminate
so the assumption must be on buf). The use of strncpy() without explicit
null-termination looks suspicious. Convert to use straight strcpy().
strncpy() would also null-pad the output, but that's clearly unnecessary
since the author calls memset(pkt_dev->/member/, 0, sizeof(..)); prior
to strncpy(), anyway.
While at it format the code for "dst_min", "dst_max", "src_min" and
"src_max" in the same way by removing extra new lines in one case.

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.
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.
