[PATCH 8/8] trace-cmd record: Check the length of the protocol version received

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

 



In check_protocol_version we compare the protocol version string with
the expected one ("V3") with memcmp(). The received string could be
longer than the constant string used for the comparison. That could
lead to out of range access.

Use the known length of the fixed "V3" string for the comparison and
check that the received protocol version is not too short.

Fixes a OVERRUN error (CWE-119)
