The s390dbf format handler rely on being passed an output buffer sized such that their output will always fit and then use plain sprintf() to write to it. While only supplied data from other kernel components this still potentially allows buffer overwrite if callers are not careful. Instead just pass in the size of the output buffer and use scnprintf() instead of sprintf() and strscpy() instead of strcpy(). The latter also allows us to get rid of a separate strlen() call.

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 reStructuredText 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.
