Subject: [PATCH v4] wincred: refactor credential blob processing
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 18:16:24 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.2251.v4.git.1792001784634.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2251.git.1791553518774.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Marc Becker <becm@gmx.de>

Implementation for splitting secret blob into separate lines and
parsing those into key/value pairs has a couple of issues:
- invalid size limit to `wcsncpy_s` (missed during d22a4884)
- inconsistent detection of line separator (matches _CR_ and _LF_)
- failing to advance position after initial password line
- deep code nesting in loop body.

Line end detection needs to be deterministic and
code can be split up into smaller functional blocks.

Create new methods for processing the matching credential and each
supported key/value pair of a multi-line secret.
Reduce variable scope and nesting level. Use early continue/return to
improve code readability.
Use `wmemchr` to reliably detect wide-character linefeed in immutable
blob data without need to create a further copy.

     -    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.
