4Subject: [PATCH] ps: Fix possible buffer overflow in -C option
5
6ps allocates memory using malloc(length of arg * len of struct).
7In certain strange circumstances, the arg length could be very large
8and the multiplecation will overflow, allocating a small amount of
9memory.
10
11Subsequent strncpy() will then write into unallocated memory.
12The fix is to use calloc. It's slower but this is a one-time
13allocation. Other malloc(x * y) calls have also been replaced
14by calloc(x, y)
