The first patch fixes a buffer overrun in junction_parse_xml_read()
and the second fixes a use-after-free when parsing multi-location
junctions in locations_to_fslocdata().
Scott Mayhew (2):
junction: fix buffer over-read in junction_parse_xml_read()
junction: fix use-after-free in locations_to_fslocdata()

junction_get_xattr() returns an opaque buffer, but
junction_parse_xml_read() treats it as a string by passing it to xlog().
Fix it by allocating an extra byte and null-terminating the buffer in
junction_get_xattr().

While parsing a multi-location junction, locations_to_fslocdata() sets
last_path = root_path and then frees root_path, leaving last_path
dangling. On the next iteration, strcmp(rootpath, last_path)
dereferences freed memory.
Fix it by transferring ownership of root_path to last_path when they
should be aliased.
