Bug Description

== Comment: #0 - Anton Blanchard <email address hidden> - 2015-04-09 19:38:56 ==
iprconfig has a buffer overflow in the disk configuration menu. The bug is not new, but the string checking functions now identify it and abort() the program.

Thanks Anton. I've committed this upstream:

http://sourceforge.net/p/iprdd/iprutils/ci/7e5f1bc7750b2df0f0be491eef1ac5da59cf63bf/

Wendy - can you get this integrated into Ubuntu 15.04 as well as anywhere else it needs to go?

This is fixed in wily, but will need an SRU for vivid (and perhaps trusty?).
