Subject: [PATCH] Fix strcat() on uninitialized memory
Date: Mon, 14 Jun 2010 18:19:24 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.1.00.1006141032250.2689@bonsai2> (raw)
Under certain circumstances, this bug would trigger a buffer overflow
error with libc, and fail test 5516.
Strbufs would have avoided the issue.
