    CVE-2015-1472: wscanf allocates too little memory

    BZ #16618

    Under certain conditions wscanf can allocate too little memory for the
    to-be-scanned arguments and overflow the allocated buffer.  The
    implementation now correctly computes the required buffer size when
    using malloc.

    A regression test was added to tst-sscanf.
