Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Replace unsound use of EOF
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
While getopt_long returns -1 on error, EOF is an implementationdefined
negative integer constant that just happens to be defined as -1 by most
C standard libraries.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Avoid unnecessary copy of argv[0]
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
The programme is copying the contents of *argv[0] into a fixedsize
buffer of 512 bytes using strcpy(). This might result in a buffer
overflow and is unnecessary as the contents are never modified.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Avoid unnecessary copy of shell path
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
The programme tries getenv("SHELL") and getpwuid(getuid())->pw_shell to
determine the preferred shell, falling back to DEFAULT_SHELL, and
copies the contents pointed to into a fixedsized buffer of 128 bytes
using strcpy().
This could result in a buffer overflow and is not necessary: While both
getenv() and getpwuid() return pointers to locations which might get
modified by subsequent calls to their respective function families,
they are only called once, so that these pointers can be aliased safely.
In addition, getenv("SHELL") would return a null pointer if the variable
is unset in the environment, resulting in a null pointer dereference in
the enclosing strcpy() call.
