From: Rafael Gieschke Date: Mon, 16 May 2011 20:08:21 GMT Subject: [PATCH] copy_gecos: fix not adding nlen to len when processing "&" Message-ID: nlen has to be added to len when inserting (capitalized) pw_name as substitution for "&" in pw_gecos. Otherwise, pw_gecos will be truncated and data might be written beyond name+sz.
