Re: [PATCH] find: fix potential buffer overflow in -execdir and -okdir

Taking another look at the git log, those bugs were fixed in 4.5.12. not 4.5.11. So the "correction" was not needed, though it is harmless (except insofar as I wrongly indicated you'd done something incorrectly). Sorry about the mistake. James.

Dmitry, It turns out a small correction is needed: the part of the NEWS file you edited describes bugs fixed in findutils-4.5.11 but not mentioned in its NEWS.Not bugs fixed in the upcoming release. Thanks, James.

Thanks, I applied this directly (since you already have a copyright assignment for findutils). Sorry about the delay. James. On Thu, May 16, 2013 at 12:48 AM, Dmitry V. Levin wrote: > * lib/buildcmd.c (bc_push_arg): Take prefix length into account > to avoid state->argbuf overflow. > * NEWS: M
