Fix buffer overflow in ndb config
In case `with_ndb_home` is set, `buf` is allocated with `PATH_MAX` and the home is already written into the buffer. The additional path is written using `snprintf` and it starts off at `len`. It still can write up to `PATH_MAX` though which is wrong, since if we already have a home written into it, we only have `PATH_MAX - len` available in the buffer. On Ubuntu 24.04 with debug builds this is caught and it crashes: ``` *** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated Signal 6 thrown, attempting backtrace. stack_bottom = 0 thread_stack 0x0 #0 0x604895341cb6 <unknown> mysql#1 0x7ff22524531f <unknown> at sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/libc_sigaction.c:0 mysql#2 0x7ff22529eb1c __pthread_kill_implementation at ./nptl/pthread_kill.c:44 mysql#3 0x7ff22529eb1c __pthread_kill_internal at ./nptl/pthread_kill.c:78 mysql#4 0x7ff22529eb1c __GI___pthread_kill at ./nptl/pthread_kill.c:89 mysql#5 0x7ff22524526d __GI_raise at sysdeps/posix/raise.c:26 mysql#6 0x7ff2252288fe __GI_abort at ./stdlib/abort.c:79 mysql#7 0x7ff2252297b5 __libc_message_impl at sysdeps/posix/libc_fatal.c:132 mysql#8 0x7ff225336c18 __GI___fortify_fail at ./debug/fortify_fail.c:24 mysql#9 0x7ff2253365d3 __GI___chk_fail at ./debug/chk_fail.c:28 mysql#10 0x7ff225337db4 ___snprintf_chk at ./debug/snprintf_chk.c:29 mysql#11 0x6048953593ba <unknown> mysql#12 0x604895331a3d <unknown> mysql#13 0x6048953206e7 <unknown> mysql#14 0x60489531f4b1 <unknown> mysql#15 0x60489531e8e6 <unknown> mysql#16 0x7ff22522a1c9 __libc_start_call_main at sysdeps/nptl/libc_start_call_main.h:58 mysql#17 0x7ff22522a28a __libc_start_main_impl at csu/libc-start.c:360 mysql#18 0x60489531ed54 <unknown> mysql#19 0xffffffffffffffff <unknown> ``` In practice this buffer overflow only would happen with very long paths.
