--- Comment #1 from Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
I agree.  There's additional background on this rule in the CERT C Coding
Standard guideline MEM35-C. Allocate sufficient memory for an object
(https://www.securecoding.cert.org/confluence/x/2wE)

Let me add it to the of list security-related issues to diagnose I've been
working on.
