[ Sun Solaris 10 libc/*convert (*cvt) buffer overflow ] Author: Maksymilian Arciemowicz http://SecurityReason.com Date: - - Dis.: 15.04.2010 - - Pub.: 21.05.2010 Affected Software: - - Sun Solaris 10 10/9 Original URL: http://securityreason.com/achievement_securityalert/86 - --- 0.Description --- SYNOPSIS #include <floatingpoint.h> char *econvert(double value, int ndigit, int *decpt, int *sign, char *buf); char *fconvert(double value, int ndigit, int *decpt, int *sign, char *buf); char *gconvert(double value, int ndigit, int trailing, char *buf); char *seconvert(single *value, int ndigit, int *decpt, int *sign, char *buf); char *sfconvert(single *value, int ndigit, int *decpt, int *sign, char *buf); char *sgconvert(single *value, int ndigit, int trailing, char *buf); char *qeconvert(quadruple *value, int ndigit, int *decpt, int *sign, char *buf); char *qfconvert(quadruple *value, int ndigit, int *decpt, int *sign, char *buf); char *qgconvert(quadruple *value, int ndigit, int trailing, char *buf); The econvert() function converts the value to a null- terminated string of ndigit ASCII digits in buf and returns a pointer to buf. buf should contain at least ndigit+1 char- acters. The position of the decimal point relative to the beginning of the string is stored indirectly through decpt. Thus buf == "314" and *decpt == 1 corresponds to the numeri- cal value 3.14, while buf == "314" and *decpt == -1 corresponds to the numerical value .0314. If the sign of the result is negative, the word pointed to by sign is nonzero; otherwise it is zero. The least significant digit is rounded. SYNOPSIS #include <stdlib.h> char *ecvt(double value, int ndigit, int *restrict decpt, int *restrict sign); char *fcvt(double value, int ndigit, int *restrict decpt, int *restrict sign); char *gcvt(double value, int ndigit, char *buf); DESCRIPTION The ecvt(), fcvt() and gcvt() functions convert floating- point numbers to null-terminated strings. - --- 1.
