Subject: [PATCH] parport: Increase buffer max length to avoid memory out of bounds overflow

From: huanglei <huanglei@...inos.cn>

Most of the time，will use 64 bit address.
such as port->base=0xffffffc010e21280 and then use
len += sprintf (buffer, "%lu\t%lu\n", port->base, port->base_hi),
port->base convert to string is "18446743799114896000" add
port->base_hi is "0" and "\t" "\n" len will be 23.
But buffer the original max length is 20, length 23 is out of buffer.
So to make sure 64 bit address will not experience buffer overflow,
need increase buffer size to 32.
