+Subject: [PATCH] mountd: fix segfault in add_name with newer gcc compilers
+Bug-Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/757835
+Bug-Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1355829
+
+I hit a segfault in add_name with a mountd built with gcc-4.9.0. Some
+NULL pointer checks got reordered such that a pointer was dereferenced
+before checking to see whether it was NULL. The problem was due to
+nfs-utils relying on undefined behavior, which tricked gcc into assuming
+that the pointer would never be NULL.
+
+At first I assumed that this was a compiler bug, but Jakub Jelinek and
+Jeff Law pointed out:
+
+"If old is NULL, then:
+
+       strncpy(new, old, cp-old);
+
+is undefined behavior (even when cp == old == NULL in that case),
+therefore gcc assumes that old is never NULL, as otherwise it would be
+invalid.
+
+Just guard
+       strncpy(new, old, cp-old);
+       new[cp-old] = 0;
+with if (old) { ... }."
+
+This patch does that. If old is NULL though, then we still need to
+ensure that new is NULL terminated, lest the subsequent strcats walk off
+the end of it.
