New Revision: 309642
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/309642

Log:
  Merge r309638 from head:
  
    When telnetd(8) composes argument list for login(1), an unexpected sequence
    of memory allocation failures combined with insufficient error checking
    could result in the construction and execution of an argument sequence that
    was not intended.
  
    Fix that treating malloc(3) failures as fatal condition.
