From 085cbdafca9c3d7bc2f27523a343f61db82f2ccb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heinrich Schuchardt Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2021 19:26:51 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] pxe: simplify label_boot() Coverity CID 131256 indicates a possible buffer overflow in label_boot(). This would only occur if the size of the downloaded file would exceed 4 GiB. But anyway we can simplify the code by using snprintf() and checking the return value.
