Description
Fix a (potential) buffer overflow in
CString::AppendFmtV
.Compiling nzbget with GCC13 and
_FORTIFY_SOURCE
can currently lead to the program being terminated:Example backtrace
It should not actually be possible that a buffer overflow occurs, since the allocated length is checked correctly. But fortify source still detects the wrong length.
Testing
Running with this patch for a few days now and no more crashes so far.
