    CVE-2022-50299

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: md: Replace snprintf with scnprintf Current code produces a warning as shown below when total characters in the constituent block device names plus the slashes exceeds 200. snprintf() returns the number of characters generated from the given input, which could cause the expression “200 – len” to wrap around to a large positive number. Fix this by using scnprintf() instead, which returns the actual number of characters written into the buffer.
