Sorry, something went wrong.
In printinaddr(), the remaining-length counter nl was decremented by len - 1 instead of len + 1 after writing ":" + port string (len + 1 bytes). This inflated nl by 2 after each port field, allowing the final snpf() to write 2 bytes past the end of the heap-allocated Namech buffer. Reported-by: f9j2n6nd8k-eng Fixes #365
