Subject: PATCH: Fix multibyte memory allocation in `wcs_ztrdup()'
Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2011 11:35:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1298889300-29679-1-git-send-email-ft@bewatermyfriend.org> (raw)

This was spotted by Thorsten Glaser from the mirbsd project.

`zalloc()' uses malloc(3) to allocate memory. wcslen(3) returns the
number of multibyte *characters* in a given string (N). The destination
string will have to be able to store N+1 wchar_ts, not N+1 bytes.

Regards, Frank
