[PATCH][BZ 15362] Fix fwrite() reading beyond end of buffer in error path


This is a revised patch for BZ#15362.

The previous discussion on this bug was at
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-04/msg00379.html.  Note: in this
previous thread I also brought up several other problems with libio that have
apparently been there for years, such as line buffering semantics not always
being respected.  This patch does not attempt to fix these other problems and
only provides a fix for #BZ11741 and BZ#15362.

I have not been able to run the full test suite because an unrelated test
(math/test-ldouble) fails even without my patch.  Also, I did not add a test
specifically for BZ#15362, as it seemed too specific.  I would think that if
such a test were to be added, then, for consistency, many other glibc tests
would have to be added or modified to make sure that glibc does not access
memory it is not supposed to.

I do not have a FSF copyright assignment in place yet.  I may be interested in
making future contributions to glibc, and unless I am supposed to do something
else, I will request the FSF copyright assignment form using the
request-assign.future template.

-----

Partially revert commits 2b766585f9b4ffabeef2f36200c275976b93f2c7 and
de2fd463b1c0310d75084b6d774fb974075a4ad9, which were intended to fix BZ#11741
but caused another, likely worse bug, namely that fwrite() and fputs() could,
in an error path, read data beyond the end of the specified buffer, and
potentially even write this data to the file.

Fix BZ#11741 properly by checking the return value from _IO_padn() in
stdio-common/vfprintf.c.
