>Description:
on http://www.freebsd.org/security/, the plural of dwarf is used as dwarfs, it should be dwarves
>How-To-Repeat:
strcpy() and sprintf() calls from unbounded data. Use strncpy and snprintf() when the length is known (or implement some other form of bounds-checking when the length is unknown). In fact, never ever use gets() or sprintf(), period. If you do - we will send evil dwarfs after you.
