Checked the source code for that just now ...
nope, sorry.
I recall the problem being completely different from buffer overflow (e.g.,
by a unchecked memcpy ()),
and more akin to either the programmer misinterpreting what a function did
because of a poor name for the function,
or using logical instead of boolean (or vice versa) logic. Of course, I
could be wrong there :)
thanks!
