Subject: [PATCH] snic: correctly check for array overrun on overly long version number
Date: Thu, 25 Feb 2016 22:58:25 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1456441105-19042-1-git-send-email-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>
The snic version number is expected to be 4 decimals in the form like
a netmask string with each number stored in an element in array v.
However, there is an off-by-one check on the number of elements in v
allowing one to pass a 5 decimal version number causing v[4] to be
referenced, causing a buffer overrun. Fix the off-by-one error by
comparing to i > 3 rather than 4.
