New Revision: 452308
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/452308

Log:
  Fix out of bounds memory read when reading bar input.
  
  Add patch from upstream git that fixes an out of bounds read and possible
  write if the bar action script returns a NULL as the first character.
  
  It is unclear if this can cause any security issues, but I feel it's prudent
  to fix the issue.

+Subject: [PATCH] Fix OOB while reading bar input.
+
+If the status bar script returns NUL as the first character through
+stdin, spectrwm is prone to an out of boundary access. Depending on
+the memory layout of the machine, it could turn into an OOB write.
+
+The fix is simple: If the string is empty, do not further check for
+newline character.
