Subject: [PATCH 2/6] Fix use of uninitialized variable in _XimExtension
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
`_XimRead()` is being called with `reply` as target buffer instead of
using `preply`, accessing uninitialized memory a few lines later.
This error has been found by a static analysis tool. This is the report:
Error: UNINIT (CWE-457):
libX11-1.8.7/modules/im/ximcp/imExten.c:468: alloc_fn:
Calling "malloc" which returns uninitialized memory.
libX11-1.8.7/modules/im/ximcp/imExten.c:468: assign:
Assigning: "preply" = "malloc((size_t)((buf_size == 0) ? 1 : buf_size))",
which points to uninitialized data.
libX11-1.8.7/modules/im/ximcp/imExten.c:479: uninit_use:
Using uninitialized value "*((CARD8 *)preply)".
# 477| return False;
# 478| buf_s = (CARD16 *)((char *)preply + XIM_HEADER_SIZE);
# 479|-> if (*((CARD8 *)preply) == XIM_ERROR) {
# 480| _XimProcError(im, 0, (XPointer)&buf_s[3]);
# 481| if(reply != preply)
