Subject: [PATCH v3] wincred: refactor credential blob processing
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2026 21:27:07 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.2251.v3.git.1791840427937.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2251.git.1791553518774.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Marc Becker <becm@gmx.de>
Invalid target size check (bytes instead of characters) for `wcsncpy_s`
already led to memory corruption; d22a4884 just hid the error by making
sure the target is always big enough.
Single invocation of `wcstok_s` only cuts out first hit delimiter.
Consecutive items would always start with a line feed character if
separation consists of CRLF.
Only exception is 1st item (due to following bug).
Advancement to end of password line is missing. Password value is reused
as extended credential item but likely filtered out due to value
mismatch with accepted key.
Line split needs to be deterministic and code should be split up into
smaller blocks.
Create separate methods for writing credential items and the complete
credential blob content to tighten code in main credential loop.
Reduce variable scope and nesting level. Use early continue/return to
improve code readability.
Use `wmemchr` to reliably detect wide-character-newline in immutable
blob data without need to create a further copy.

wincred: fix line split of secret blob content
Changes since v1:
* move credential blob dissection and output to separate methods
(maintainer request)
* mark character constants as wide char
* consistently treat sizes/lengths as (wide) character count
Changes since v2:
* adjust loop condition for credential items; loop body processes
non-final lines
* fix remaining C++ style comment
