Summary:                    [patch] potential buffer overflow in
say_date_with_format()
Description: 
An improper (or crafted) format string can cause a buffer overflow in
say_date_with_format().

Inside the ast_say_date_with_format_LANG() functions (all of them appear
to have the same bug - yay copy/paste?), there is a for loop that iterates
over format.  If format contains only one apostrophe, the inner loop can
loop beyond the end of format.


I believe that inner loop should be checking bounds with format[offset +
1].
