Subject: [PATCH] Validate client cut text length

9b8edd
Client-provided unsigned 32-bit cut text length is passed to various
9b8edd
functions that expects argument of a different type.
9b8edd
9b8edd
E.g. "RFB 003.003\n\001\006\0\0\0\xff\xff\xff\xff" string sent to the
9b8edd
RFB server leads to 4294967295 msg.cct.length value that in turn is
9b8edd
interpreted as -1 by rfbReadExact() and thus uninitialized str buffer
9b8edd
with potentially sensitive data is passed to subsequent functions.
9b8edd
9b8edd
This patch fixes it by checking for a maximal value that still can be
9b8edd
processed correctly. It also corrects accepting length value of zero
9b8edd
(malloc(0) is interpreted on differnet systems differently).
9b8edd
9b8edd
Whether a client can make the server allocate up to 2 GB and cause
9b8edd
a denial of service on memory-tight systems is kept without answer.
9b8edd
A possible solution would be adding an arbitrary memory limit that is
9b8edd
deemed safe.
