+Subject: [PATCH] Graphics library - prevent buffer overrun in (T)BCP encoding
+
+Bug #706494 "Buffer Overflow in s_xBCPE_process"
+
+As described in detail in the bug report, if the write buffer is filled
+to one byte less than full, and we then try to write an escaped
+character, we overrun the buffer because we don't check before
+writing two bytes to it.
+
+This just checks if we have two bytes before starting to write an
+escaped character and exits if we don't (replacing the consumed byte
+of the input).
+
+Up for further discussion; why do we even permit a BCP encoding filter
+anyway ? I think we should remove this, at least when SAFER is true.
