Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] lib/vsprintf: pointer handling fixes for bstr_printf() and vbin_printf()
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 19:34:38 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260330193440.74268-1-objecting@objecting.org> (raw)

These patches address multiple bugs in vsprintf pointer handling


Patch one: Regards argument pointer advancement in bstr_printf(),
when the buffer is full..
Patch two: Fixes a OOB write in vbin_printf() when size is 0

Josh Law (2):
  lib/vsprintf: always advance args in bstr_printf() pointer path
  lib/vsprintf: fix OOB write in vbin_printf() when size is zero

 lib/vsprintf.c | 9 +++++----

Changes since V1:
Dropped 2 patches, probably not needed.
For patch 2: Instead of using else if (end > (char *)bin_buf),
instead guard size with else if (size) /* do nothing if size is zero */
(suggested by steven Rostedt)
