+ CVE-2015-1472: wscanf allocates too little memory
+
+ BZ #16618
+
+ Under certain conditions wscanf can allocate too little memory for the
+ to-be-scanned arguments and overflow the allocated buffer. The
+ implementation now correctly computes the required buffer size when
+ using malloc.
+
+ A regression test was added to tst-sscanf.
