commit b8e51a6a9db94bc1fb18ae831b3dab106b5a4b5f upstream.
The problem is that we were putting the NUL terminator too far:
buf[sizeof(buf) - 1] = '\0';
If the user input isn't NUL terminated and they haven't initialized the
whole buffer then it leads to an info leak. The NUL terminator should
be:
buf[len - 1] = '\0';
