David Endler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> found an exploit
in wv with respect to how it handles date and time
fields. Via a little malicious hacking and ingenuity,
one can cause a buffer overrun because a bit of code
uses strcat. Using this, one can get wvHtml and
possibly other things that use this function to
execute arbitrary bytecode. I have committed what I
believe is an adequate workaround for the problem at
hand. Bonsai has the relevant files and lines changed.
Alternate suggestions and solutions welcomed,
especially in cvs diff -u format.
