Subject: [PATCH] sunrpc/cache: fix off-by-one in qword_get()
Date: Thu, 18 Feb 2016 18:55:54 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1455821754-24940-1-git-send-email-stefanha@redhat.com> (raw)
The qword_get() function NUL-terminates its output buffer. If the input
string is in hex format \xXXXX... and the same length as the output
buffer, there is an off-by-one:
int qword_get(char **bpp, char *dest, int bufsize)
{
...
while (len < bufsize) {
...
*dest++ = (h << 4) | l;
len++;
}
...
*dest = '\0';
return len;
}
This patch ensures the NUL terminator doesn't fall outside the output
buffer.
