From 1d92cddb1e1ed4b6cc0e55461727561e7a2522e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rich Felker Date: Sat, 20 Jul 2013 00:21:11 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] fix uninitialized/stale use of alloc (%m modifier) flag in scanf for conversion specifiers, alloc is always set when the specifier is parsed. however, if scanf stops due to mismatching literal text, either an uninitialized (if no conversions have been performed yet) or stale (from the previous conversion) of the flag will be used, possibly causing an invalid pointer to be passed to free when the function returns. --- src/stdio/vfscanf.c | 2 ++ src/stdio/vfwscanf.c | 2 ++ 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/stdio/vfscanf.c b/src/stdio/vfscanf.c index bb928480..68c8e2cf 100644 --- a/src/stdio/vfscanf.c +++ b/src/stdio/vfscanf.c @@ -81,6 +81,8 @@ int vfscanf(FILE *restrict f, const char *restrict fmt, va_list ap) for (p=(const unsigned char *)fmt; *p; p++) { + alloc = 0; + if (isspace(*p)) { while (isspace(p[1])) p++; shlim(f, 0); diff --git a/src/stdio/vfwscanf.c b/src/stdio/vfwscanf.c index 760864ff..44fac78e 100644 --- a/src/stdio/vfwscanf.c +++ b/src/stdio/vfwscanf.c @@ -109,6 +109,8 @@ int vfwscanf(FILE *restrict f, const wchar_t *restrict fmt, va_list ap) for (p=fmt; *p; p++) { + alloc = 0; + if (iswspace(*p)) { while (iswspace(p[1])) p++; while (iswspace((c=getwc(f)))) pos++; -- 2.25.1
