> An attacker controlled string may very will be missing the 0 byte

Entirely possible, especially if the attacker is local. But when we're dealing with something coming in over the network, I think even the old arpa headers get you a null byte at the end, regardless of if one was sent.

Unless we aren't dealing with tcp/ip, in which case I'm way out of my depth.
