On Windows + ASAN, I got a report of a buffer overflow from this call to
al_ustr_newf:The cause was a missing null-terminator + usage of strlen in
_al_bvcformata. With DEBUGMODE set, this string is grown one byte at a time (which is probably needed to repro). All other usages ofexvsnprintfin this file set a null terminator after calling it, except for this one.Gemini helped me diagnose this: https://gemini.google.com/share/ac2168d6f6ad
