(In reply to w.schwarzenfeld from comment #33)

It may be appropriate to also consider the sscanf issues and alternatives
indicated in:

https://www.securecoding.cert.org/confluence/display/c/INT05-C.+Do+not+use+=
input+functions+to+convert+character+data+if+they+cannot+handle+all+possibl=
e+inputs

sscanf is not good for handling/avoiding problems in the text being convert=
ed
well.


Has anyone contacted the upstream author ( capps@iozone.org ) to see what t=
heir
criteria are for changes to go upstream? For example: what range of vintage=
s of
C are to be supported? That criteria might eliminate what I reference above=
 for
changes going upstream for all I know.
