autofs-5.1.2 - limit getgrgid_r() buffer size
Some older versions of glibc use stack allocation to store group
information during calls to getgrgid_r(). But before doing this
it checks if the size of the response info. can fit in the user
supplied buffer and returns ERANGE if it can't.
Now automount(8) doesn't check if the size of the buffer it is
passing is larger than it's stack size. That's not very accurrate
since current stack usage isn't known but better than not checking
at all.
