 Hi Team,

 https://github.com/torproject/tor/blob/master/src/lib/err/backtrace.c#L267-L268

 i.e

 strncat(version, " ", sizeof(version)-1);
 strncat(version, tor_version, sizeof(version)-1);


 Easily used incorrectly (e.g., incorrectly computing the correct maximum
 size to add) such as (CWE-120).

 Consider strcat_s, strlcat, snprintf, or automatically resizing strings. I
 feel the risk is high because the length parameter appears to be a
 constant, instead of computing the number of characters left.


 Request team to please have a look and validate.



 Regards
 Dhiraj
