security alerts in busybox

Hi,

Using a static code analyser, I found:

Open potentially alerts by severity/class in branch `main`:

- **security**: 103 critical, 96 high, 4 medium, **203 total**

Alerts above are related to C-language code, none otherwise.

Are these false positives? Well, it is more about corner cases like
using the applet in a strong parallel mode like xargs -p8 does. If
used for maintenance on a large enough infrastructure, the corner case
has a chance to be met, for example.

    util-linux/ipcs.c: use of potentially dangerous function (fix)

    Alerts: #96-93,91,88-83,81-77

    +:git-shell:security:busybox> size busybox
       text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
    1155501   18124    2056 1175681  11f081 busybox
    1155670   18132    2056 1175858  11f132 busybox
                               +177

These are trivial alerts, therefore I faced it first to provide an
example. And the second main question is straightforward: does this
fix worth 177 bytes? In relative terms it is 150 ppm compared with the
full size footprint. In terms of certifications is a solid step
towards peace of mind.
