Patch: https://github.com/HardenedBSD/hardenedBSD-playground/commit/1bcd4a2c6f3a256b2db03fc9421857a7f7963f34.patch It may potentially be more pleasing to use: if (strnlen(din.ia_from, ICONV_CSNMAXLEN) >= ICONV_CSNMAXLEN) But I opted for using `sizeof` on the string instead: if (strnlen(din.ia_from, sizeof(din.ia_from)) >= ICONV_CSNMAXLEN)
Any movement on this?
