Title:
  cfdisk crashes if terminal size is too small

Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I've tried to run cfdisk in a narrow (less than 40 columns) gnome-terminal window,
  and cfdisk crashed.

  If the user doesn't have rights to read the device, the crash doesn't occur, because
  the program merely displays an error message. It can be reproduced only when
  actually
  seeing the partition layout of a device.

  The problem is caused by some (unsafe) usage of sprintf. The patch I'm going to
  attach
  changes most unsafe sprintf calls to snprintf, and it looks like the bug is solved.

  The considered util-linux version is 2.12h-3ubuntu1.
