[libvirt] [PATCH] Fix latent buffer overflow in qemudOpenMonitorUnix.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Fix a possible latent bug in qemudOpenMonitorUnix().  If the pathname
to the monitor is very long (i.e. >= UNIX_MAX_PATH), then strncpy will
*not* place a final \0 on the string (see "man strncpy").
NULL terminate the buffer to ensure we don't run off the end.
