From c2cba3d9314f972dfaf724d0ec2d018eb54c95f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering Date: Thu, 4 Oct 2012 13:09:46 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] block: avoid buffer overrun by using pstrcpy, not strncpy Also, use PATH_MAX, rather than the arbitrary 1024. Using PATH_MAX is more consistent with other filename-related variables in this file, like backing_filename and tmp_filename.
