sscanf string buffer overflow - PaulDinam - 15.08.2015

Is it really bad if someone types in a longer string than their supposed to and that warning appears? Is there a way to prevent this?

Use a one-size-fits-all string or check the length beforehand.

yes you can use strlen
if(strlen(params) >= sizeof(string) || sscanf( ... ) )
