Backport Paul Pluzhnikov's glibc patch for CVE-2015-1472:

Under certain conditions wscanf can allocate too little memory for the
to-be-scanned arguments and overflow the allocated buffer.  The
implementation now correctly computes the required buffer size when
using malloc.

Note that this patch is to apply to the Dizzy branch of
openembedded-core (glibc 2.20). It might cleanly apply to other branches
also using glibc 2.20, but I've only tested with Dizzy.

CVE-2015-1472 is fixed in glibc 2.21 and later.

Thanks,
Haris
