CVE-2015-1472: wscanf allocates too little memory
BZ #16618 Under certain conditions wscanf can allocate too little memory for the to-be-scanned arguments and overflow the allocated buffer. The implementation now correctly computes the required buffer size when using malloc. A regression test was added to tst-sscanf.
