It passes a fixed-length non-NUL terminated buffer (returned by read(2)) to mbrtowc(). In addition to the lack of termination, the buffer could also contain a partial character at its beginning or end if the contents are UTF-8. The Coverity ID is 978825. _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
