commit c44496df2f090a56d3bf75df930592dac6bba46f Author: Siddhesh Poyarekar Date: Wed Mar 12 17:27:22 2014 +0530 Provide correct buffer length to netgroup queries in nscd (BZ #16695) The buffer to query netgroup entries is allocated sufficient space for the netgroup entries and the key to be appended at the end, but it sends in an incorrect available length to the NSS netgroup query functions, resulting in overflow of the buffer in some special cases. The fix here is to factor in the key length when sending the available buffer and buffer length to the query functions. diff --git glibc-2.17-c758a686/nscd/netgroupcache.c glibc-2.17-c758a686/nscd/netgroupcache.c index 426d3c5..5ba1e1f 100644 --- glibc-2.17-c758a686/nscd/netgroupcache.c +++ glibc-2.17-c758a686/nscd/netgroupcache.c @@ -202,7 +202,7 @@ addgetnetgrentX (struct database_dyn *db, int fd, request_header *req, { int e; status = getfct.f (&data, buffer + buffilled, - buflen - buffilled, &e); + buflen - buffilled - req->key_len, &e); if (status == NSS_STATUS_RETURN || status == NSS_STATUS_NOTFOUND) /* This was either the last one for this group or the
