Subject: [PATCH] envblk: Fix buffer overrun when attempting to shrink a
|
|
|
3fa14a |
variable value

If an existing variable is set with a value whose length is smaller than
|
|
|
3fa14a |
the current value, a memory corruption can happen due copying padding '#'
|
|
|
3fa14a |
characters outside of the environment block buffer.
|
|
|
3fa14a |
|
|
|
3fa14a |
This is caused by a wrong calculation of the previous free space position
|
|
|
3fa14a |
after moving backward the characters that followed the old variable value.
|
|
|
3fa14a |
|
|
|
3fa14a |
That position is calculated to fill the remaining of the buffer with the
|
|
|
3fa14a |
padding '#' characters. But since isn't calculated correctly, it can lead
|
|
|
3fa14a |
to copies outside of the buffer.
|
|
|
3fa14a |
|
|
|
3fa14a |
The issue can be reproduced by creating a variable with a large value and
|
|
|
3fa14a |
then try to set a new value that is much smaller:
