Hi List,

I used the ldapdb_plugin as a template for my sql_plugin-enhancements.

While reading through the code there is one problem coming to my mind:

In ldapdb_canon_client there is NO check whether ulen is greater than out_umax
– maybe it is only a minor issue because the string user is only truncated,
but I didn’t have a look if there could be any situation where the size of the
string user could be greater than out_umax.

Yeah, didn't seem to be a likely case. Still probably ought to be fixed.

Patch would be:

if (ulen>out_umax) return SASL_NOMEM;

Should use SASL_BUFOVER actually.

Just in front of the memcpy.
