Subject: Bug in src/stdio/fread.c

If you look at the code:

size_t fread(void *restrict destv, size_t size, size_t nmemb, FILE *restrict f)
{
	unsigned char *dest = destv;
	size_t len = size*nmemb, l = len, k;
	if (!size) nmemb = 0;

	FLOCK(f);

	f->mode |= f->mode-1;

	if (f->rpos != f->rend) {
		/* First exhaust the buffer. */
		k = MIN(f->rend - f->rpos, l);
		memcpy(dest, f->rpos, k);
		f->rpos += k;
		dest += k;
		l -= k;
	}
	
	/* Read the remainder directly */
	for (; l; l-=k, dest+=k) {
		k = __toread(f) ? 0 : f->read(f, dest, l);
		if (!k) {
			FUNLOCK(f);
			return (len-l)/size;
		}
	}

	FUNLOCK(f);
	return nmemb;
}

Consider what happens when f->rpos == f->rend: k is used uninitialized.

My suggested fix is:
-	if (f->rpos != f->rend) {
+	k = f->rend - f->rpos;
+	if (!k) {
 		/* First exhaust the buffer. */
-		k = MIN(f->rend - f->rpos, l);
+		k = MIN(k, l);
