From 0335cb3e98483511a20f8576f61e6abca5c2a98d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan-Erik Rediger Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2015 14:36:52 +0100 Subject: Prevent buffer overflow when formatting the error strncat might copy n+1 bytes (n bytes from the source plus a terminating nul byte). Also strncat appends after the first found nul byte. But all we pass is a buffer we might not have zeroed out already.
