Also, some of the checks are redundant. Above, it is probably better to delete "len >= 1", and optionally write "len < 4" instead of "len <= 3" (to emphasize that the subtraction of 4 below does not result in a negative value). > + > len -= 4; > - if (len >= size) > + if ((len < 0) || ((unsigned)len >= size)) > die("protocol error: bad line length %d", len); The "len < 0" check is redundant. > - ret = get_packet_data(fd, src_buf, src_len, buffer, len, options); > - if (ret < 0) > - return ret; > + > + if (get_packet_data(fd, src_buffer, src_len, buffer, len, options) < 0) > + return PACKET_READ_EOF; > > if ((options & PACKET_READ_CHOMP_NEWLINE) && > len && buffer[len-1] == '\n')
