Subject: [PATCH] Issue #767: Buffer overflow printing a filename
|
|
|
|
The safe_fprintf function attempts to ensure clean output for an
|
|
arbitrary sequence of bytes by doing a trial conversion of the
|
|
multibyte characters to wide characters -- if the resulting wide
|
|
character is printable then we pass through the corresponding bytes
|
|
unaltered, otherwise, we convert them to C-style ASCII escapes.
|
|
|
|
The stack trace in Issue #767 suggest that the 20-byte buffer
|
|
was getting overflowed trying to format a non-printable multibyte
|
|
character. This should only happen if there is a valid multibyte
|
|
character of more than 5 bytes that was unprintable. (Each byte
|
|
would get expanded to a four-charcter octal-style escape of the form
|
|
"\123" resulting in >20 characters for the >5 byte multibyte character.)
|
|
|
|
I've not been able to reproduce this, but have expanded the conversion
|
|
buffer to 128 bytes on the belief that no multibyte character set
|
|
has a single character of more than 32 bytes.
