File openbsc/src/gprs/sgsn_vty.c:

Line 595: 	sprintf(imsi_sanitized,"%015li", atol(argv[1]));
please always use snprintf to ensure we're not overflowing the buffer here.  If a number requires more digits than given in the format string, it will attempt to use more digits, so this is not a sufficient safeguard.

Also, 'atol()' converts to 'long', which may very well be only 32bits depending on the architectures.  And 32bits is only ~ 10 digits. See https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/size-of-long-integer-type-on-different-architecture-and-os

atoll() might be more safe, or even strtoull() as it is even unsigned.  But then, it mgih be best to do this all in the 'string' domain to avoid any integer overflow related issues.
