[ping5][PATCH][BZ15362] Fix fwrite() reading beyond end of buffer in error path


Pinging my patch for BZ15362 yet again.

Patch included, but it is the same as posted at
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-04/msg00566.html except rebased on
master and retested, and ChangeLog date updated.

This patch was already reviewed and pinged a while back by Siddhesh Poyarekar
(see https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-06/msg00625.html), but no one
else reviewed it.

Note that I classified this as a critical bug when I opened it since it involves
an invalid memory access being made.  Even worse, invalid/unexpected data may be
passed to the write() system call which could constitute an information
disclosure vulnerability, although this can only occur following a write error
on the same file descriptor.

-----

Partially revert commits 2b766585f9b4ffabeef2f36200c275976b93f2c7 and 
de2fd463b1c0310d75084b6d774fb974075a4ad9, which were intended to fix BZ#11741 
but caused another, likely worse bug, namely that fwrite() and fputs() could, 
in an error path, read data beyond the end of the specified buffer, and 
potentially even write this data to the file. 

Fix BZ#11741 properly by checking the return value from _IO_padn() in 
stdio-common/vfprintf.c.
