Issue:
The original implementation of the convertChipType function in main.cpp was flagged by the compiler warning, suggesting the possibility of a buffer overflow due to the use of snprintf writing more characters than the buffer size.
Fix:
To address this, the function has been updated to first check the length of the chip string. If the length is greater than 4 (the intended size of the buffer minus the null terminator), the function returns 0. This ensures that snprintf never attempts to write more characters than the buffer can handle.
Changes Made:
Added a check to ensure chip string length does not exceed 4 characters.
Returned 0 if the string length check fails.
The updated code is as follows:
This change should prevent any potential buffer overflows
