ASF GitHub Bot commented on THRIFT-3821:
----------------------------------------

Github user asuhan commented on the issue:

    https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/1326
  
    Thanks for the review, I'll address both. It's my preference to squash the 
commits as well, sounds like I've misinterpreted 
https://thrift.apache.org/docs/HowToContribute (it says "When bugfixing: add 
test that will isolate bug before applying change that fixes it").

>             Project: Thrift
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: C++ - Library
>    Affects Versions: 0.9.3
>            Reporter: Huaisi Xu

> In ensurecanwrite():
> {code}
>   uint32_t new_size = bufferSize_;
>   while (len > avail) {
>     new_size = new_size > 0 ? new_size * 2 : 1;
>     avail = available_write() + (new_size - bufferSize_);
>   }
>   // Allocate into a new pointer so we don't bork ours if it fails.
>   uint8_t* new_buffer = static_cast<uint8_t*>(std::realloc(buffer_, 
> new_size));
>   if (new_buffer == NULL) {
>     throw std::bad_alloc();
>   }
>   rBase_ = new_buffer + (rBase_ - buffer_);
>   rBound_ = new_buffer + (rBound_ - buffer_);
>   wBase_ = new_buffer + (wBase_ - buffer_);
>   wBound_ = new_buffer + new_size;
>   buffer_ = new_buffer;
>   bufferSize_ = new_size;
> {code}
> If old bufferSize_ is lager than 2gb, then calculating new size will overflow.
> i.e. if bufferSize_ = 3355443200, then new buffer size will be 2415919104, 
> which is less than old size.
> However, 
> {code}
> avail = available_write() + (new_size - bufferSize_) 
> {code}
> overflows again, so we will end up with an shrinked buffer.
> What is worse is that after
> {code}
>   wBase_ = new_buffer + (wBase_ - buffer_);
>   wBound_ = new_buffer + new_size;
> {code}
> wBase_ stays the same, but wBound_ becomes lower than it. What happens next 
> is that   uint32_t avail = available_write() may overflow every time 
> subsequently. and thrift writes to unknown memory.
