Subject: [PATCH 1/7] imap-send: avoid buffer overflow
Date: Thu, 8 Dec 2011 03:23:17 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111208082317.GA26409@sigill.intra.peff.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20111208082118.GA1507@sigill.intra.peff.net>
We format the password prompt in an 80-character static
buffer. It contains the remote host and username, so it's
unlikely to overflow (or be exploitable by a remote
attacker), but there's no reason not to be careful and use
a strbuf.
Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

Just something I noticed while doing the cleanup in the next patch.
