Added boundary check for fscanf() in InitKsyms() and CheckMapVersion()
to prevent an unintended crash when reading an incorrect System.map.
Hello,
I have discovered a potential crash bug in sysklogd. The klogd daemon
doesn't handle really malformed System.map files very well. It has
two fscanf() calls with "%s"format strings that stores to char
sym[512] arrays. This causes a crash if the string field in the
file is longer than that.
Despite being a buffer overflow, this is not a security problem, as
only root can change the System.map file. Nevertheless, I think it
is worth fixing, as the Right Thing for a program should be not to
assume anything about its input and to handle various problems well.

Patch: sysklogd-1.4.1-owl-longjmp.diff from Openwall
...
From: Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com >
1. Ensures that "len" is not placed in a register and as such can't be
clobbered by longjmp(). With the particular code, it does not really
matter whether it is clobbered or not, but this avoids the gcc warning.
2. Makes endtty() the signal handler only after the variable that
function uses is initialized. In the original code, the signal
handler was setup too early and if there would be SIGALRM before
control reaches setjmp(), syslogd would segfault (if not worse).
Basically, this is a minor correctness patch.
