by HYPERVISOR_xen_version(XENVER_build_id) is\nneither NUL terminated nor a string.\n\nThe first causes a buffer overflow as sprintf in buildid_show will\nread and copy till it finds a NUL.\n\n00000000  f4 91 51 f4 dd 38 9e 9d  65 47 52 eb 10 71 db 50  |..Q..8..eGR..q.P|\n00000010  b9 a8 01 42 6f 2e 32                              |...Bo.2|\n00000017\n\nSo use a memcpy instead of
