Subject: [musl] [PATCH] remove strdupa
Date: Sat, 22 Oct 2022 15:57:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221022135723.31813-1-ismael@iodev.co.uk> (raw)

There's no portable way to implement strdupa without double evaluation
of it's parameter, and it's use leads to vulnerabilities, since there's
no chance to check for stack overruns.
