Problems with Data Types, High Severity (1)

	Change	Effect
1	Size of this type has been changed from 584 bytes to 688 bytes.	Layout of parameter's stack of several functions has been changed and therefore parameters at higher positions in the stack may be incorrectly initialized by applications.

readproc.h
[+] struct proc_t (8)

	Change	Effect
1	Type of field egroup has been changed from char[20] (20 bytes) to char[33] (33 bytes).	1) Size of the inclusive type has been changed. 2) Previous accesses of applications and library functions to this field and fields at higher positions of the structure definition may be broken.
2	Type of field euser has been changed from char[20] (20 bytes) to char[33] (33 bytes).	1) Size of the inclusive type has been changed. 2) Previous accesses of applications and library functions to this field and fields at higher positions of the structure definition may be broken.
3	Type of field fgroup has been changed from char[20] (20 bytes) to char[33] (33 bytes).	1) Size of the inclusive type has been changed. 2) Previous accesses of applications and library functions to this field and fields at higher positions of the structure definition may be broken.
4	Type of field fuser has been changed from char[20] (20 bytes) to char[33] (33 bytes).	1) Size of the inclusive type has been changed. 2) Previous accesses of applications and library functions to this field and fields at higher positions of the structure definition may be broken.
5	Type of field rgroup has been changed from char[20] (20 bytes) to char[33] (33 bytes).	1) Size of the inclusive type has been changed. 2) Previous accesses of applications and library functions to this field and fields at higher positions of the structure definition may be broken.
6	Type of field ruser has been changed from char[20] (20 bytes) to char[33] (33 bytes).	1) Size of the inclusive type has been changed. 2) Previous accesses of applications and library functions to this field and fields at higher positions of the structure definition may be broken.
7	Type of field sgroup has been changed from char[20] (20 bytes) to char[33] (33 bytes).	1) Size of the inclusive type has been changed. 2) Previous accesses of applications and library functions to this field and fields at higher positions of the structure definition may be broken.
8	Type of field suser has been changed from char[20] (20 bytes) to char[33] (33 bytes).	1) Size of the inclusive type has been changed. 2) Previous accesses of applications and library functions to this field and fields at higher positions of the structure definition may be broken.

Problems with Symbols, Medium Severity (1)

	Change	Effect
1	Size of this global data has been changed from 24 bytes to 25 bytes.	Applications will obtain a different value and execution may change.

version.h, libprocps.so.3.0.0
[+] procps_version [data] @@ LIBPROCPS_0 (1)

to the top

Problems with Constants, Low Severity (1)

	Change	Effect
1	The value of constant P_G_SZ has been changed from 20 to 33.	Applications will pass an old value of this constant as the parameter to the new-version library functions, that expect a new one. This may result in crash of incorrect behavior of applications.

pwcache.h
[+] P_G_SZ

Other Changes in Constants (1)

	Change	Effect
1	The constant PROC_FILLSYSTEMD with value 0x80000 has been added.	No effect.
