Git-commit: ba1e6eaea84b73e6ccd5f73acb93110eadb1a640
Author: Michal Srb <msrb@suse.com>
Subject: xkb: Fix heap overflow caused by optimized away min.
Patch-mainline: Upstream
References: boo#1099113

Calling strlen on char[4] that does not need to contain '\0' is wrong and X
server may end up running into invalid memory.

In addition GCC 8 is clever enough that it knows that strlen on char[4] can
return 0, 1, 2, 3 or cause undefined behavior. With this knowledge it can
optimize away the min(..., 4). When the undefined behavior happens, any long
value can be passed as size to the memcpy which will overflow the destination
buffer.
