Subject: [PATCH] commands/menuentry: Fix quoting in setparams_prefix()
9723a8
9723a8
Commit 9acdcbf32542 (use single quotes in menuentry setparams command)
9723a8
says that expressing a quoted single quote will require 3 characters. It
9723a8
actually requires (and always did require!) 4 characters:
9723a8
9723a8
  str: a'b => a'\''b
9723a8
  len:  3  => 6 (2 for the letters + 4 for the quote)
9723a8
9723a8
This leads to not allocating enough memory and thus out of bounds writes
9723a8
that have been observed to cause heap corruption.
9723a8
9723a8
Allocate 4 bytes for each single quote.
9723a8
9723a8
Commit 22e7dbb2bb81 (Fix quoting in legacy parser.) does the same
9723a8
quoting, but it adds 3 as extra overhead on top of the single byte that
9723a8
the quote already needs. So it's correct.
