Re: [fltk/fltk] Compiler warnings with msys2 (current) + fltk-1.4.x current (Issue #296) erco77 Nov 25, 2021  
 

Hmm, reopening because:

  1. I'm not not completely convinced the libpng warning is legit. Looking at their code, I think the operation is safe, because their append code uses a position index that starts at 0, and only looks for null termination in the source string, not the dest. So the "fix" I committed just silences a possibly benign error. Investigating before I report upstream, as I want to be sure if there's security implications or not. Apparently reporting security issues for libpng can be done thru private email, without joining a mailing list. Just google for 'libpng reporting bugs' to find it, e.g.
If you wish to privately report a security issue (vulnerability)
in libpng, please report it by email to:
    png-mng-security at lists.osuosl.org
where it will be seen by a small group of long-time libpng
contributors. You don't need to subscribe (in fact you probably
won't be allowed to subscribe) to that list.
  1. I see there's some other warnings I didn't catch from the build of test/icon.cxx, another potential buffer uninitialized issue. (attached) icon-warnings.txt
