>Description:
src/lib/libcurses/setterm.c v1.26:
102: char *ttytype;
180: if (unknown) {
181: strcpy(ttytype, "dumb");
So, no memory was allocated to take "dumb".
>How-To-Repeat:
Set TERM to something silly and run something linked with -lcurses eg lynx
>Fix:
?? maybe it should be __ttytype which is a char[128] ??
