Bug#912993: Debian bug 912993

[Farblos <farblos@vodafonemail.de>]

Hi Martin-Éric,

I've seen your decision about becoming a DM in the recent changelog
update.  Congratulations and thanks for taking over the responsibility!


However, I'd like to challenge your decision of closing this bug:

since I'm quite confident that there *is* a bug if one wants to use
TitlePref=0.  Which I happen to do.


As I mentioned already in my update #40 [1] (with different email
address back then), the following block from cups-pdf.c

------------------------------ snip ------------------------------
      if (sscanf(buffer, "%%%%Title: %"TBUFSIZE"c", title)==1) {
        log_event(CPDEBUG, "found title in ps code: %s", title);
        is_title=1;
      }
------------------------------ snip ------------------------------

is buggy since sscanf does not zero-terminate the string.

I can provide a patch for that if you see any chances to get this
incorporated.

Thanks again

Jens
