*Change Request ID*: 6764665
*Synopsis*: *libpp* Array overrun in libpp
Product: solaris
Category: shell
Subcategory: korn93
Type: Defect
Subtype:
Status: 3-Accepted
Substatus:
Priority: 3-Medium
Introduced In Release: solaris_nevada
Introduced In Build: snv_72
Responsible Engineer: <User 1-1SURPB>
Keywords: oss-request, oss-sponsor, parfait
=== *Description* ============================================================
/usr/src/lib/libpp/common/ppfsm.c
0861: }
0862: if (x >= 0)
0863: {
0864: *s = x;
0865: for (n = CHAR_MIN; n <= CHAR_MAX; n++)
0866: if (ppisidig(n))
0867: fsm[HITN][n] = HITN;
0868: n = HITN;
0869: }
0870: if (fsm[i][c] < n)
0871: fsm[i][c] = n;
ppisidig() expands to ((pptype)[c]&(C_ID|C_DIG)), and pptype further expands to
(ppctype-(CHAR_MIN)+1) when char is signed (as it is by default on x86).
ppctype in turn is a char array of 255 elements. As a result, the above loop
runs from ppctype[1] through ppctype[256].
The bug looks to be in the definition of pptype - when char is unsigned, the
code should work correctly.
This bug was found using the Parfait source code analysis tool.
