>Environment:
Version of fingerd.c:
$FreeBSD: src/libexec/fingerd/fingerd.c,v 1.16.2.1 2001/03/05 10:59:50 kris Exp $
>Description:
When the maximum number of names are given to fingerd (50-3), the argv array given to execv will not be NULL terminated, resulting in a bad address return.

>How-To-Repeat:
telnet localhost finger, enter 47 or more arguments, see /var/log/messages

>Fix:
# diff -c fingerd.c fingerd.c.new
