Hello, In hplip-1.7.1 in pcard/fat.c line 350 there is a wrong ordering in a test which causes invaild array access and the compiler finds it and shows an "array subscript is above array bounds" warning which was found by one of our users, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=243047
Here my patch (too long lines are wrapped here but I think it is still possible to understand what I mean). -------------------------------------------------------------------- --- pcard/fat.c.orig 2006-11-14 00:58:36.000000000 +0100 +++ pcard/fat.c 2007-02-16 11:48:34.000000000 +0100 @@ -347,7 +347,8 @@ int LoadFileInCWD(int filenumber) return FAT_FILE_DELETED; /* Read file information from directory and convert to 8.3 format. */ - for (i=0; pde->Name[i] && (pde->Name[i] != ' ') && (i<sizeof(pde->Name)); i++) /* copy charactors up to any space */ + /* Test for i<sizeof(pde->Name) first of all to avoid any access to pde->Name[i] when i>=sizeof(pde->Name) */ + for (i=0; (i<sizeof(pde->Name)) && pde->Name[i] && (pde->Name[i] != ' '); i++) /* copy charactors up to any space */ fa.Name[i] = pde->Name[i]; if (pde->Ext[0] && (pde->Ext[0] != ' ')) { -------------------------------------------------------------------- Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany AG Nuernberg, HRB 16746, GF: Markus Rex ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
