[Bug 988918] Re: buffer overflows possible in liblxc

[Serge Hallyn]

** Also affects: lxc (Ubuntu Precise)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Description changed:

- Some code in liblxc calls sprintf, or doesn't check return values of
- snprintf.  Find and fix those.
+ ==============================
+ SRU Justification:
+ Impact: callers of liblxc (like lxc-ip) can easily get buffer overruns
+ Stable fix: will be same as development fix
+ Development fix: Change all sprintf calls to snprintf, and check all snprintf return values
+  which can possibly overrun
+ Test case: call lxc-info with a 300 character container name?
+ Regression potential: If this code is not converted correctly, regular container
+  usage can be broken.  The lxc testsuite is being run to make sure there are no
+  regressions with regular container creation and startup.
