[PATCH v2 1/2] bugfix: fix broken time_buf paddings for git-blame

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

 



When `git blame` shows date field in a fixed width (as long as
blame_date_width characters), if time_str shorter than that, add spaces
for padding.  But there are two bugs in the following codes:

        memcpy(time_buf, time_str, time_len);
        memset(time_buf + time_len, ' ', blame_date_width - time_len);

1. The type of blame_date_width is size_t (unsigned int).  If time_len
   is greater than blame_ate_width, "blame_date_width - time_len" will
   never be a negative number, but a really big positive number, and
   will cause memory overwrite.

   This bug can be triggered if either l10n message for function
   show_date_relative() in date.c is longer then 30 charcters, then
   `git blame --date relative` may fail.

2. When show blame information with relative time, the UTF-8 characters
   in time_str will break the alignment of columns after the date field.
   This is because the time_buf padding with spaces should have a
   constant display width, not a fixed strlen size.  So we should call
   utf8_strwidth() instead of strlen() for calibration.
