From 5bd80bfe9ca0d955bfbbc002781bc7b01b6bcb06 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Pluzhnikov Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2015 00:30:42 -0500 Subject: CVE-2015-1472: wscanf allocates too little memory BZ #16618 Under certain conditions wscanf can allocate too little memory for the to-be-scanned arguments and overflow the allocated buffer. The implementation now correctly computes the required buffer size when using malloc. A regression test was added to tst-sscanf. --- stdio-common/vfscanf.c | 12 ++++++------ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) (limited to 'stdio-common/vfscanf.c') diff --git a/stdio-common/vfscanf.c b/stdio-common/vfscanf.c index cd129a81de..0e204e7b32 100644 --- a/stdio-common/vfscanf.c +++ b/stdio-common/vfscanf.c @@ -272,9 +272,10 @@ _IO_vfscanf_internal (_IO_FILE *s, const char *format, _IO_va_list argptr, if (__glibc_unlikely (wpsize == wpmax)) \ { \ CHAR_T *old = wp; \ - size_t newsize = (UCHAR_MAX + 1 > 2 * wpmax \ - ?
