Many of C's problems relate to string handling. These are all legacy functions which have been replaced with safe alternatives many decades ago.

strcpy() was replaced with a safer strncpy() and in turn has been replaced with strlcpy().

The list is a ban of the less safe versions, where more modern alternatives exist.
