+	<h1>Problem Description:</h1>
+	<p>posix_spawnp spawns a new thread with a limited stack allocated on the heap
+	before delegating to execvp for the final execution within that thread.</p>
+	<p>execvp would previously make unbounded allocations on the stack, directly
+	proportional to the length of the user-controlled PATH environment variable.</p>
+	<h1>Impact:</h1>
+	<p>Long values in the user-controlled PATH environment variable cause
+	posix_spawnp to write beyond the end of stack that was allocated, ultimately
+	overflowing the heap-allocated stack with a direct copy of the value stored
+	in PATH.</p>
