Description of problem:

sgpio command aborted with *** buffer overflow detected ***

The following stacktrace was output.

This following is the relative code.

struct disk{
        struct led_context data[LEDS_PER_DISK];
        int id;
        int host_port;
        int init;
        char name[7];
};
... snip ...
int led_set(int port_num){
... snip ...

        /* Give the port a name */
        if(sprintf(disks[index].name,"Port %d", port_num) < 0){
                printf("Error: Unable to write port number to buffor!\n");
                return -1;
        }

The name member of the struct disk is the char type array with 7 length.
Basically, last one name[6] should be \0.
So, the name member can be used for almost 6 characters.

The "Port %d" can be more than 7 characters, when the port number length is more than 2. So, the buffer overflow was detected and aborted.

The following is the simple fix.

$ cat sgpio-larger-portnum.patch

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.5

How reproducible:
Always with the scsi port number of more than 2 digits.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find a disk with the scsi port number of more than 2 digits.
2. Run sgpio -d <device> -s locate

   <device> is something like sda

Actual results:
sgpio command aborted.

Expected results:
sgpio command never aborted.
