In output() we sprintf() the result of find_pid_slot(). We print the pid slot to the buffer with %u and have space for two digits of pid slot. find_pid_slot() potentially returns PIDSLOT_NOT_FOUND (-1), which when printed with %u is 4294967295 - ten digits. Fix it two ways, use snprintf() - truncated output is better than a buffer overflow. And allocate more space in the buffer, 32 bytes is a nice round size, and gives us space for everything. --- log.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/log.c b/log.c index 91b4f63..584901c 100644 --- a/log.c +++ b/log.c @@ -291,7 +291,7 @@ void output(unsigned char level, const char *fmt, ...) char watchdog_prefix[]="[watchdog]"; char init_prefix[]="[init]"; char main_prefix[]="[main]"; - char child_prefix[]="[childNN:1234567890]"; + char child_prefix[32]; if (logging == FALSE && level >= quiet_level) return; @@ -311,7 +311,7 @@ void output(unsigned char level, const char *fmt, ...) unsigned int slot; slot = find_pid_slot(pid); - sprintf(child_prefix, "[child%u:%u]", slot, pid); + snprintf(child_prefix, sizeof(child_prefix), "[child%u:%u]", slot, pid); prefix = child_prefix; } -- 1.9.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe trinity" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
