Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• There is the possibility of a wide character swprintf() buffer
  overflow condition in NativeCreds.DLL in
  BuildKerberosTime() when processing the MS TGT
  msticket->StartTime returned from the
  second call to LsaCallAuthenticationPackage().
  

Problem conclusion

• Modified the wide character calls to swprintf() to add a size
  limiter parameter which prevents
  character buffer overflow conditions.
  The files affected by this APAR are:  ibmjgssprovider.jar
  (build_20210201--36), NativeCreds.dll 32/64 bit (20210201).
  The associated Hursley RTC Problem Report is PR144716.
  The associated Austin Git issue is Issue# 6 for IBMJGSS.
  The associated Austin APAR issue is IJ29940.
  JVMs affected include: Java 7.0.
  The fix was delivered for Java 7.0 SR10 FP85 and Java 7.1 SR4
  FP85.
  .
  This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases:
     7    SR10 FP85 (7.0.10.85)
     7 R1 SR4 FP85  (7.1.4.85)
  .
