As the length of field ifr_name of struct ifreq is IFNAMSIZ(16) in header file /usr/include/net/if.h. It will result in buffer overflow when devname is too long. Modified strcpy to strncpy for only copying IFNAMSIZ bytes into struct ifreq. Also, by adding a section into parse_cmdline to detect if the length of devname is invalid.
