Subject: [PATCH] CVE-2013-2168: _dbus_printf_string_upper_bound: copy the
va_list for each use
Using a va_list more than once is non-portable: it happens to work
under the ABI of (for instance) x86 Linux, but not x86-64 Linux.
This led to _dbus_printf_string_upper_bound() crashing if it should
have returned exactly 1024 bytes. Many system services can be induced
to process a caller-controlled string in ways that
end up using _dbus_printf_string_upper_bound(), so this is a denial of
service.
