[PATCH] diff: avoid stack-buffer-read-overrun for very long name
From: Jim Meyering <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:53:36
Due to the use of strncpy without explicit NUL termination, we could end up passing names n1 or n2 that are not NUL-terminated to queue_diff, which requires NUL-terminated strings. Ensure that each is NUL terminated.
