    ath9k: eeprom: Use scnprintf instead of snprintf · 4b6e9f3f

    Change snprintf to scnprintf. There are generally two cases where using
    snprintf causes problems.
    
    1) Uses of size += snprintf(buf, SIZE - size, fmt, ...)  In this case,
    if snprintf would have written more characters than what the buffer
    size (SIZE) is, then size will end up larger than SIZE. In later uses
    of snprintf, SIZE - size will result in a negative number, leading to
    problems. Note that size might already be too large by using size =
    snprintf before the code reaches a case of size += snprintf.
    
    2) If size is ultimately used as a length parameter for a copy back to
    user space, then it will potentially allow for a buffer overflow and
    information disclosure when size is greater than SIZE. When the size is
    used to index the buffer directly, we can have memory corruption. This
    also means when size = snprintf... is used, it may also cause problems
    since size may become large. Copying to userspace is mitigated by the
    HARDENED_USERCOPY kernel configuration.
    
    The solution to these issues is to use scnprintf which returns the number
    of characters actually written to the buffer, so the size variable will
    never exceed SIZE.
