Subject: Another memory overrun in http-push.c
Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2007 19:09:12 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070301160911.GU57456@codelabs.ru> (raw)
Me again ;))
Spotted another memory overrun in the http-push.c. In principle,
it is the read-only overrun, but it provokes the coredump on my
system. The problem is that strlcpy(dst, src, size) returns the
length of the 'src' and demands it to be NULL-terminated (see
'man strlcpy' and http://www.gratisoft.us/todd/papers/strlcpy.html).
It is not the case for the xml_cdata and possibly other places. So
I've just replaced strlcpy with memcpy + zero termination all over
the http-push.c. The patch is below.

memcpy(obj_hex, path, 2) is not followed by zero-termination since
it will be done by the strcpy that is following.
This cured my git-http-push and let it do all PROPFINDS on the rather
large repository (175 Mb). Now I have only one SEGV that is happening
inside the libcurl both in http-push.c and http-fetch.c. Already
talking to CURL people and trying to write the clear testcase for
the problem.
