If a server responds with more data tthough, fspread writes beyond the bounds of the buffer to fill, which is passed in by the caller. It depends on the caller of fspread() where that buffer is, so there are various possible attack vectors. In the Plan9 kernel, I found this implemented in devmnt.c, where overly large responses are truncated to the size requested before copying, so I assume that this strategy works here too. This also affects fsread() and fsreadn(), which are based on fspread().
