On the surface, the sscanf() seems OK. It will break the while loop
when reaching the end of the format:
  https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.1-rc6/source/lib/vsprintf.c#L3429
or the end of the string:
  https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.1-rc6/source/lib/vsprintf.c#L3501
(I am skipping details here, there are other branches that will break
the while loop and all of them look good).

And me not being the first person using sscanf(), I hope that if a bug
existed, it would have already been spotted by some static
analysis/fuzzing/code review :)

That said, I think I answered all your comments. Can I get your
reviewed-by or ack tag? Thank you!


Yours sincerely,
