Description

In Eclipse OpenJ9, prior to the 0.12.0 release, the jio_snprintf() and jio_vsnprintf() native methods ignored the length parameter. This affects existing APIs that called the functions to exceed the allocated buffer. This functions were not directly callable by non-native user code.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

v < 0.12.0
Affected range stops below 0.12.0, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
