This patch makes it use a separate buffer for readlink's input (with a size that is sufficient to avoid truncation, so there should be no problems with warnings about possible truncation, though not strictly minimal, but much smaller than the buffer for output) to avoid this problem. Tested compilation for aarch64-linux-gnu with build-many-glibcs.py. 2017-12-18 Joseph Myers [BZ #22446] * nscd/connections.c (handle_request) [SO_PEERCRED]: Use separate buffers for readlink input and output.
