** Description changed: The eC compiler and IDE crashed on buffer overflows. These included: - - The GCC command for preprocessing in ecp and ecc - - The communication with integrated GDB - - Opening in the Code Editor a file specifying a text property containing a long string of text - - Using a very long set of command line arguments (Project Settings/Workspace) + - The GCC command for preprocessing in ecp and ecc + - The communication with integrated GDB + - Opening in the Code Editor a file specifying a text property containing a long string of text + - Using a very long set of command line arguments (Project Settings/Workspace), when writing to the workspace file [Test Case] - - Run ecp or ecp with a lot of arguments to be passed down to GCC for processing ( e.g. a lot of -I/usr/include/long/paths ) - - Cause a long (>1024 chars) GDB command to be issued (e.g. add a very long identifier expression to the Watch window) - - Open up ide/src/about.ec in the IDE - - Set up a very long set of command line arguments (Project Settings/Workspace) + - Run ecp or ecp with a lot of arguments to be passed down to GCC for processing ( e.g. a lot of -I/usr/include/long/paths ) + + - Cause a long (>1024 chars) GDB command to be issued (Set a long set + of command line arguments in Project Settings/Workspace) + + - Open up ide/src/about.ec in the IDE: + + jerome@quantal:~/sdk$ ide ide/src/about.ec + *** stack smashing detected ***: ide terminated + Aborted (core dumped) + + - Set up a very long set of command line arguments (Project + Settings/Workspace) [Regression Potential] - Since the size for these buffers have either be increased, or they have been replaced by dynamic buffer, things should work better. Nothing should be negatively affected. + Since the size for these buffers have either been increased, or they have been replaced by dynamic buffer, things should work better. Nothing should be negatively affected. It might still possible to reproduce some of these which much bigger strings for the GCC preprocessing command and the communication with GDB: for these the buffer has been increased from 1024 to 3075 characters until we have a safer solution.
