Bug ID: 80798
Summary: Dynamic stack buffer (alloca) overflow in ObjC
compiler.
Product: gcc
Version: 8.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: objc
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: m.ostapenko at samsung dot com
Target Milestone: ---
Host: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Build: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Not sure anybody interested, but while testing a patch for ASan alloca/VLA
instrumentation, I encountered the following report:

Heap left redzone: fa
Freed heap region: fd
Stack left redzone: f1

Global init order: f6

Container overflow: fc
Array cookie: ac
Intra object redzone: bb
ASan internal: fe
Left alloca redzone: ca
Right alloca redzone: cb
Looking to corresponding code:
size_t length = strlen (full_setter_name);
char *setter_name = (char *) alloca (length);
tree ret_type, selector, arg_type, arg_name;
strcpy (setter_name, full_setter_name); // BOOM
It seems that author just forgot about terminating '\0', so the fix is trivial.
