Description:
------------
printf does not check bounds properly when parsing padding specifier (single quote) which may lead to read of string past the end of the buffer. 

Test script:
---------------
printf("%’", "foo")

Expected result:
----------------
""

Actual result:
--------------
==17598== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
