netfilter: conntrack: remove sprintf usage
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: conntrack: remove sprintf usage Replace it with scnprintf, the buffer sizes are expected to be large enough to hold the result, no need for snprintf+overflow check. Increase buffer size in mangle_content_len() while at it.
