Bug 293447 – x11-misc/adesklets-0.6.1-r1 buffer overflows when "adesklet :" is executed

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Sascha Wuestemann 2009-11-17 00:35:17 UTC]

Getting the adesklet shell is impossible, because a buffer overflow is detected and adesklets is terminated immediately.
I USE="X ctrlmenu fontconfig perl python -debug"
The weather desklet I run works fine, though.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open xterm
2. Type in adesklet :
3. *** crashes ***

Actual Results:  
Backtrace follows.

Expected Results:  
I expected it to be useable, to find out, how to create my own desklet.
