The maximum field width of a string conversion does not include the
null byte. So we can overflow the buffer by one byte.

This can be triggered in ioctl_loop01 with -fsanitize=address even if
the file contents are far less than the buffer size:

tst_test.c:1558: TINFO: Timeout per run is 0h 00m 30s

ioctl_loop01.c:85: TPASS: /sys/block/loop1/loop/partscan = 0
ioctl_loop01.c:86: TPASS: /sys/block/loop1/loop/autoclear = 0

Uff, looking closely at the scanf manual:

String input conversions store a terminating null byte ('\0') to mark
the end of the input; the maximum field width does not include this
terminator.

So do I get it right that scanf() actually writes one byte after the
size passed after the % character? That sounds a bit evil to me.

Anyways:

Yes, I suppose the root cause is null terminated strings. ;-)

Interesting.
