[PATCH 1/8] libhandle: Guard against string overflow in path_to_fspath()

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

 



path_to_fspath does a blind strcpy into an array of
MAXPATHLEN; we should be sure to limit this so that it
does not go over the size of the array.

I don't think I see a way to get here today with a too-long
path, but I don't think it'll hurt to be defensive.
