Strcpy Buffer Overflow

Question Text​

Does any buffer overflow occur with the latest version of the program?

Question Answers​

  • no, because strcpy() was designed to correctly handle such situations.

  • no, because the string is correctly printed, i.e. no extra characters.

  • we cannot know

  • yes, strcpy() copies the entirety of the source, including the \0; since the size of dst is 4 the null byte overwrites the least significant byte of var
