#116 Buffer Overflow in check_words()

[Anonymous]

the swear filter in plugin_retribution does not work, if
chat-message is too large.

I assume that BUF_SIZE is too small in native function
check_words.

Yes, BUF_SIZE is too small for this purpose, while it technically
isn't a buffer overflow.
The length of text you can /say can be defined generally as
<128 and BUF_SIZE is 100.
Therefore, using the BUF_SIZE constant for this is wrong, but
luckily it's an easy fix :-)
