** Description changed:

+ SRU justification:
+ 
+ [ Impact ]
+ 
+  * ods-signerd fails to start, thus rendering an OpenDNSSEC installation
+    useless.
+ 
+  * The issue is caused by __snprintf_chk aborting after snprintf() is called
+    with a fixed buffer size argument and a buffer that is calloc()ed with a
+    dynamically-computed size. There is no buffer overflow (the
+    dynamically-computed buffer size is correct), thus this issue is only
+    observable when compiled with _FORTIFY_SOURCE.
+ 
+  * Upstream have fixed this issue with two commits, but no new version has yet
+    been released:
+     - 
https://github.com/opendnssec/opendnssec/commit/02940f512de662152d331df5afb8ad3436f96224
+     - 
https://github.com/opendnssec/opendnssec/pull/869/changes/170f507ccb1a955460a78e59a0382b0aab4889fe
+ 
+  * ods-signerd on jammy and older work well, despite the problematic code 
being
+    present. I'm happy to open MPs for jammy and older, too, if this is 
desired.
+ 
+  * Original bug description kept below.
+ 
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+  1. Install opendnssec-signer and softhsm2 
+    $ sudo aptitude install opendnssec-signer softhsm2
+ 
+  2. Given opendnssec user access to softhsm2 tokens directory
+  (/var/lib/softhsm/tokens/) via group membership.
+    $ sudo adduser opendnssec softhsm
+ 
+  3. Initialise a new softhsm2 token
+    $ sudo runuser -u opendnssec -- softhsm2-util --init-token --slot 0 
--label 'OpenDNSSEC'
+ 
+  4. Create a test directory
+    $ mkdir /tmp/ods/
+ 
+  5. Create a minimal configuration file
+    $ cat >/tmp/ods/conf.xml <<EOF
+ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+ <Configuration>
+     <RepositoryList>
+         <Repository name="SoftHSM">
+             <Module>/usr/lib/softhsm/libsofthsm2.so</Module>
+             <TokenLabel>OpenDNSSEC</TokenLabel>
+             <PIN>1234</PIN>
+         </Repository>
+     </RepositoryList>
+     <Common>
+         <PolicyFile>/dev/null</PolicyFile>
+         <ZoneListFile>/dev/null</ZoneListFile>
+     </Common>
+     <Enforcer>
+         <Datastore><SQLite>/dev/null</SQLite></Datastore>
+         <WorkingDirectory>/tmp/ods/</WorkingDirectory>
+     </Enforcer>
+     <Signer>
+         <WorkingDirectory>/tmp/ods/</WorkingDirectory>
+         <WorkerThreads>4</WorkerThreads>
+         <NotifyCommand>/usr/bin/echo %zone</NotifyCommand>
+     </Signer>
+ </Configuration>
+ EOF
+ 
+  6. Create a minimal zone list
+    $ cat >/tmp/ods/zones.xml <<EOF
+ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+ <ZoneList>
+     <Zone name="example.com">
+         <Policy>default</Policy>
+         <SignerConfiguration>/dev/null</SignerConfiguration>
+         <Adapters>
+             <Input>
+                 <Adapter type="File">/dev/null</Adapter>
+             </Input>
+             <Output>
+                 <Adapter type="File">/dev/null</Adapter>
+             </Output>
+         </Adapters>
+     </Zone>
+ </ZoneList>
+ EOF
+ 
+  7. Please note that this is deliberately a very short example, hence the
+  /dev/null files. The zones.xml filename is important, hard-coded and relative
+  to the WorkingDirectory configuration option.
+ 
+  8. Run the signer daemon in the foreground (-d) and passing the configuration
+  file
+    $ sudo runuser -u opendnssec -- ods-signerd -d -c /tmp/ods/conf.xml
+ 
+  9. Observe the abort.
+ 
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ 
+  * The previous code was considerably more convoluted than the new one, which
+    uses strncat and strlcpy. The function in question performs a simple string
+    search and replacement.
+ 
+  * There are three inputs to the function:
+    - The original string, from the configuration file ("/usr/bin/echo %zone" 
in
+      the test). This is expected to be administrator-controlled.
+    - The placeholder, hardcoded in code ("%zone").
+    - The replacement, which could be either administrator-controlled or
+      untrusted input (the zone name, "example.com").
+ 
+  * If the code is incorrect and the third argument is untrusted input, it 
could
+    lead to a buffer overflow. Heap protection compiler flags should help 
reduce
+    the risk of code execution and result in process crashes, instead.
+ 
+  * I have omitted the patch hunks which referenced some testing files that do
+    not exist in the current Ubuntu sources. The test file included is not 
used,
+    but I kept it to reduce the likelihood that future patches do not apply
+    cleanly.
+ 
+ [ Other Info ]
+ 
+  * I built the package here:
+    - https://launchpad.net/~lucistanescu/+archive/ubuntu/testing/+packages
+    Patch is identical, apart from the version in debian/changelog which has a
+    '~noble1' suffix.
