    Problem Text
    The function vfwprintf_fef() in SRC/vsth/common/vsth_fs.c contains
    the following code:

    rval = mbstowcs(&wfmt[0], "%.256ls", VSTH_BUFLEN);

    This line is preparing a format string for the fwscanf() later
    in the code. However, this format string is incorrect, it
    should be "%256ls". Page 309 of the XSH XPG5 states the following:

    "Conversions ... is replaced by the sequence %n$, where n is a decimal
    integer in the range [1,NL_ARGMAX]. ..."

    Completed null
    Status Complete
    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    We agree with the applicant and recommend that a waiver be granted
    on the basis of a test suite deficiency. The precision specifier used
    in this subtest is a valid conversion specifier for the printf family
    of functions, not the scanf family of functions.


    Review Type SA Review
