From 206ebaea2cd547fbc180d61279bfd2e80a0dc3dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jo-Philipp Wich Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2020 12:41:37 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] file_util.c: fix possible bad memory access in file_read_line_alloc() In the case of a zero length string being returned by fgets(), the condition checking for a trailing new line would perform a bad memory access outside of `buf`. This might happen when line with a leading null byte is read. Avoid this case by checking that the string has a length of at least one byte. Also change the unsigned int types to size_t to store length values while we're at it.
