mkhash currently returns the hash of an empty input when trying to hash a folder. This can be missleading in caseswhere e.g. an env variable is undefined which should contain a filename. `mkhash ./path/to/$FILE` would exit with code 0 and return a legit looking checksum.
A better behaviour would be to fail with exit code 1, which imitates the behaviour of `md5sum` and `sha256sum`. To avoid hashing of folders `fopen()` is called in `r+` mode which fails on folders, as their are not writeable. Regular files work as before. Hashing empty inputs result in the following checksums: md5: d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e sha256: e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855 Signed-off-by: Paul Spooren <[email protected]> --- scripts/mkhash.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/scripts/mkhash.c b/scripts/mkhash.c index 96f92e42b5..4d1ff1c166 100644 --- a/scripts/mkhash.c +++ b/scripts/mkhash.c @@ -770,7 +770,7 @@ static int hash_file(struct hash_type *t, const char *filename, bool add_filenam if (!filename || !strcmp(filename, "-")) { str = t->func(stdin); } else { - FILE *f = fopen(filename, "r"); + FILE *f = fopen(filename, "r+"); if (!f) { fprintf(stderr, "Failed to open '%s'\n", filename); -- 2.25.1 _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
