Fix heap buffer overflow in fgetwln() In the function fgetwln() there's a 4 byte heap overflow. There is a while loop that has this check to see whether there's still enough space in the buffer: if (!fb->len || wused > fb->len) { If this is true more memory gets allocated. However this test won't be true if wused == fb->len, but at that point wused already points out of the buffer. Some lines later there's a write to the buffer: fb->wbuf[wused++] = wc; This bug was found with the help of address sanitizer.
