When we dynamically generate a name for a configuration in get-reg-list we use strcat() to append to a buffer allocated using malloc() but we never initialise that buffer. Since malloc() offers no guarantees regarding the contents of the memory it returns this can lead to us corrupting, and likely overflowing, the buffer: vregs: PASS vregs+pmu: PASS sve: PASS sve+pmu: PASS vregs+pauth_address+pauth_generic: PASS X�vr+gspauth_addre+spauth_generi+pmu: PASS Initialise the buffer to an empty string to avoid this.
