[PATCH v2] xilinx: zynqmp: Fix snprintf invalid size argument

Thu Jul 2 15:55:53 CEST 2026


buf is an array of size DFU_ALT_BUF_LEN bytes.
It is gradually filled with data using snprintf but the
size argument to snprintf is kept at DFU_ALT_BUF_LEN,
making it possible to overflow the buffer.
Fix this bug using the correct buffer size:
DFU_ALT_BUF_LEN - len.
Also, replace snprintf by scnprintf, otherwise len
variable is incremented incorrectly. It is now
incremented by the actual character count written
in buf.

v2: Replace snprintf by scnprintf
