We have a whole bunch of similar patches in Mandriva, just fetch the cooker
source rpm packages and do something like:
rpm -qlp *.src,rpm | grep format
It would be a major task to push that to the upstream projects.
Just checked the ones I fixed (in 2008/2009):
$ rpm -qlp /SRPMS/contrib/release/*.rpm /SRPMS/main/release/*.rpm | grep
format_not_a_string_literal_and_no_format_arguments | wc -l
106
So, at least 106 new CVE assignments there.
Cheers.
