in misc.c, tilde_expand_filename() PATH_MAX is used. However in readconf.c path and filename components are arbitrarily set to 100 and 100 during the xasprintf() as part of add_identity_file() instead of using NAME_MAX and PATH_MAX. (void)xasprintf(&path, "%.100s%.100s", dir, filename); Also I think it's reasonable that a message should be logged if the input was truncated. Now, I'm not sure what the knock-on effects are from a portable-edition standpoint, but I believe most libC implementations have the same or similar constants that can be utilized. In the same vein, misc.c, tilde_expand_filename() char user[128] Granted this is probably a case of sized so big,nobody will hit it. But why not actually leverage the OS' definitions? Or are these limits not easily found? In linux I believe it's 32 char but so far I haven't found the definition in either kernel source nor glibc. _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
