Subject: (savedir): Check for size zero before invoking
X-Git-Tag: TEXTUTILS-1_22c~33
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=dcd4c05dfaeac27ea1ae101ccc3f47a9483a0fc5;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

(savedir): Check for size zero before invoking
malloc; this can occur if st_size arg overflows on conversion to
unsigned int.  All callers now cast st_size arg to unsigned int.
