git: b7b447fd4ca3 - main - When parsing a rule to rotate log files on a specific week day, parseDWM() can advance the time to the next week. If the next week is in the next month, then tm_mon is incremented. However, the increment was failing to handle the wraparound from December to January, so when parsing a rule during the last week of the December, the month would advance to month 12. This triggered an out-of-bounds read of the mtab[] array in days_pmonth() after parseDWM() returned. To fix, this change resets the month to January and increment the year when the month increment wraps.

    When parsing a rule to rotate log files on a specific week day,
    parseDWM() can advance the time to the next week. If the next week is
    in the next month, then tm_mon is incremented. However, the increment
    was failing to handle the wraparound from December to January, so when
    parsing a rule during the last week of the December, the month would
    advance to month 12. This triggered an out-of-bounds read of the
    mtab[] array in days_pmonth() after parseDWM() returned.  To fix,
    this change resets the month to January and increment the year when
    the month increment wraps.
    
    The default rule for /var/log/weekly.log triggers this during the
    last week of December each year.
