commit 959da6b7f2b5ed63426fd12a9046ac06033f6db1 Author: Nick Mathewson <nickm@torproject.org> Date: Fri Jul 1 12:06:54 2011 -0400 Use strlcpy in create_unix_sockaddr() Using strncpy meant that if listenaddress were ever >= sizeof(sockaddr_un.sun_path), we would fail to nul-terminate sun_path. This isn't a big deal: we never read sun_path, and the kernel is smart enough to reject the sockaddr_un if it isn't nul-terminated. Nonetheless, it's a dumb failure mode. Instead, we should reject addresses that don't fit in sockaddr_un.sun_path. Coverity found this; it's CID 428.
