Bootloader-controlled data (device names, CPU identifiers) written to fixed-size buffers with sprintf/strcpy, and debugger infrastructure with unbounded vsprintf, create multiple buffer overflow and wild-write vulnerabilities. This PR systematically eliminates these patterns.
Changes
Unsafe string function replacement
Example: arcname.c boot device initialization
Return value validation for _vsnprintf
Example: kdb_cli.c critical fix
Buffer size validation with assertions
Race condition mitigation
