From 8ce87bc5abd047aaa9e9fddec17b8ab1f32739bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rasmus Villemoes Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2015 15:01:39 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] lib/vsprintf.c: improve sanity check in vsnprintf() On 64 bit, size may very well be huge even if bit 31 happens to be 0. Somehow it doesn't feel right that one can pass a 5 GiB buffer but not a 3 GiB one. So cap at INT_MAX as was probably the intention all along. This is also the made-up value passed by sprintf and vsprintf.
