Address memory safety issues in addcomment.c.

  • Memory Allocation Check: Add a check for malloc returning NULL in the udcd function to prevent dereferencing a NULL pointer.
  • Memory Deallocation: Free the allocated memory after use in the udcd function to prevent memory leaks.
  • Buffer Overflow Prevention: Add a check to ensure the input length does not exceed the buffer size before using fread.
  • Input Length Check: Modify the sscanf function to check the length of input strings to prevent buffer overflows.
  • Error Handling: Add error handling for memory allocation failures and free allocated memory in case of errors.

For more details, open the Copilot Workspace session.
