Bug 1037048

Description of problem
----------------------

dyninst fails to build if "-Werror=format-security" flag is used.

...

../src/DatabaseOutputDriver.C:314:32: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security]

...

We are working on a proposal to enable "-Werror=format-security" for all
packages. Once this flag is enabled, GCC will refuse to compile code that could
be vulnerable to a string format security flaw. For more details, please see
https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1185 page.

To understand why it is important to fix this, please see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Format-Security-FAQ page.

How to fix this
---------------

The fix for these errors is quite simple. It's a matter of changing a
line like,

   printf(foo);

to read,

   printf("%s", foo);

That's it.

Please fix this issue in rawhide with a patch (which you should submit
to upstream to merge moving forward). Please do a new build with the
fix in rawhide. Other releases do not need to be directly fixed, but
there should be no harm in pushing out this fix/patch with other needed
changes to those branches.

In the event you don't fix this bug before the next mass rebuild,
provenpackagers may step in and update your package(s) to fix this
issue.

How reproducible
----------------

Build dyninst-8.1.2-4.fc20.src.rpm with "-Werror=format-security" flag to reproduce the problem.

To make this process easier, you can use a modified "redhat-rpm-config" package
from http://people.fedoraproject.org/~halfie/artifacts/redhat-rpm-config/ URL.
