"probably can live undetected quite long" indeed...
- MikeTV 11y agoSo memset was crippled from Android 1.5-2.1? How did this not bring everything to a grinding halt? (Not familiar with Android's inner workings specifically, but from a C standpoint this sounds major.)
- to3m 11y agoHow often is memset used to set the data to something other than zero? Probably even less often than strncpy copies a string that is exactly the length of the destination, I'd wager :) That is the evil genius of this bug.
