openssh bugs - Nov 2005 - [Bug 1108] strdup from openbsd-compat/bsd-misc.c is broken

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1108

           Summary: strdup from openbsd-compat/bsd-misc.c is broken
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 4.2p1
          Platform: All
               URL: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=87067
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Miscellaneous
        AssignedTo: bitbucket at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: antoine.brodin at laposte.net


This bug has been reported to FreeBSD but the submitter didn't report it to
OpenSSH : http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=87067

The check if (strlcpy(cp, str, len) != len) is bogus because strlcpy will
return strlen(str) i.e. len-1 so strdup will always return NULL.

This affects OS that don't have strdup (I don't know who they are)

Fixed, thanks.  The only platform known to be affected is Ultrix, hence why it
was not caught earlier :-)
