Bug#21977380 - POSSIBLE BUFFER OVERFLOW ISSUES
DESCRIPTION =========== Buffer overflow is reported in a lot of code sections spanning across server, client programs, Regex libraries etc. If not handled appropriately, they can cause abnormal behaviour. ANALYSIS ======== The reported casea are the ones which are likely to result in SEGFAULT, MEMORY LEAK etc. FIX === - sprintf() has been replaced by my_snprintf() to avoid buffer overflow. - my_free() is done after checking if the pointer isn't NULL already and setting it to NULL thereafter at few places. - Buffer is ensured to be large enough to hold the data. - 'unsigned int' (aka 'uint') is replaced with 'size_t' to avoid wraparound. - Memory is freed (if not done so) after its alloced and used. - Inserted assert() for size check in InnoDb memcached code (from 5.6 onwards) - Other minor changes (cherry picked from commit 3487e20959c940cbd24429afa795ebfc8a01e94f)
