Potential Format String Vulnerability

Hi,

The terminfo files contain format strings in some places and you can get 
ncurses to segfault if you change them around. Before invoking tparm, there 
should be some check that the format string is of the correct format because 
you can definitely get apps to segfault this way.


Regards,
Armin
