[rrd-developers] buffer overflow in rrd_set_error()

[Sebastian Harl]

Hi,

While looking through the bug reports of the Debian rrdtool package
([1]), I stumbled across #450578 ([1]). In one of the follow-up
messages, Matthew Boyle identified ([3]) a buffer overflow in
rrd_set_error() and provided a patch for it.

According to Matthew, this patch has been submitted upstream. However, I
cannot find it in 1.3-rc4. What happened to that patch?

TIA,
Sebastian
