These buffers are defined with a magic number of 1024, which is a common source of vulnerabilities. Replace the magic number 1024 with the MAX_PATH macro to make the code safer and more readable. While at it, replace other instances of the magic number with ARRAY_SIZE() when the buffer is locally defined.
