[PATCH] monitor: fix buffer overflow when terminal width > 255

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

 



In current code, we create line buffer with size 256, which can contains
255 ASCII characters. But in modern system, terminal can have larger
width. It may cause buffer overflow in snprintf() text.

We need allocate line buffer with size which can contains one line in
terminal. The size should be difficult to calculate because of multibyte
characters, but our code using line buffer assumed all characters has
1 byte size (e.g. when we put packet text into line buffer via
snprintf(), we calculate max size by 1B * col.), so it's safe to
allocate line buffer with col + 1.
