From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Currently the allocation of cpulist is based on the length of buf but does not include the addition end of string '\0' terminator. Static analysis is reporting this as a potential out-of-bounds access on cpulist. Fix this by allocating enough space for the additional '\0' terminator.
