-Subject: [PATCH] CVE-2017-11541: In safeputs(), check the length before
- checking for a NUL terminator.
-
-safeputs() doesn't do packet bounds checking of its own; it assumes that
-the caller has checked the availability in the packet data of all maxlen
-bytes of data. This means we should check that we're within the
-specified limit before looking at the byte.
-
-This fixes a buffer over-read discovered by Kamil Frankowicz.
-
-Add a test using the capture file supplied by the reporter(s).
