Hi,

a security audit for the PPC64/AIX port revealed an unsecure useage of 'strcpy' in Java_sun_tools_attach_AixVirtualMachine_connect(). Because the same coding is also used in the Linux and BSD implementations, the following change fixes them all together:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~simonis/webrevs/8038233/ https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8038233

Compiled and tested (with the com/sun/jdi, com/sun/tools/attach, com/sun/management and sun/management JTreg tests) on Linux, MacOS X and AIX.

Please notice that this fix is also intended for backporting tu 8u.

Thank you and best regards, Volker
