commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=ffacda24e7068500bdd0fb64f08e242f0aad357f
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2019.02.x

Fixes the following security issue:

- CVE-2019-19221: In Libarchive 3.4.0, archive_wstring_append_from_mbs in
  archive_string.c has an out-of-bounds read because of an incorrect mbrtowc
  or mbtowc call.  For example, bsdtar crashes via a crafted archive.

+Subject: [PATCH] Bugfix and optimize archive_wstring_append_from_mbs()
+
+The cal to mbrtowc() or mbtowc() should read up to mbs_length
+bytes and not wcs_length. This avoids out-of-bounds reads.
+
+mbrtowc() and mbtowc() return (size_t)-1 wit errno EILSEQ when
+they encounter an invalid multibyte character and (size_t)-2 when
+they they encounter an incomplete multibyte character. As we return
+failure and all our callers error out it makes no sense to continue
+parsing mbs.
+
+As we allocate `len` wchars at the beginning and each wchar has
+at least one byte, there will never be need to grow the buffer,
+so the code can be left out. On the other hand, we are always
+allocatng more memory than we need.
+
+As long as wcs_length == mbs_length == len we can omit wcs_length.
+We keep the old code commented if we decide to save memory and
+use autoexpanding wcs_length in the future.
+
+Fixes #1276
