Subject: [PATCH 8/9] tracing/function-graph: Use correct string size for snprintf
Date: Mon, 28 Jun 2010 23:08:44 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100629031044.693053496@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20100629030836.222433712@goodmis.org

[-- Attachment #1: 0008-tracing-function-graph-Use-correct-string-size-for-s.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1498 bytes --]

From: Chase Douglas <chase.douglas@canonical.com>

The nsecs_str string is a local variable defined as:

char nsecs_str[5];

It is possible for the snprintf call to use a size value larger than the
size of the string. This should not cause a buffer overrun as it is
written now due to the value for the string format "%03lu" can not be
larger than 1000. However, this change makes it correct. By making the
size correct we guard against potential future changes that could actually
cause a buffer overrun.

[ added 'UL' to number 8 to fix gcc warning comparing it to sizeof() ]
