Building with GCC 7 produces an error building rpcgen:
rpc_parse.c: In function 'get_prog_declaration':
rpc_parse.c:543:25: error: may write a terminating nul past the end of the destination [-Werror=format-length=]
sprintf (name, "%s%d", ARGNAME, num); /* default name of argument */
~~~~^
rpc_parse.c:543:5: note: format output between 5 and 14 bytes into a destination of size 10
sprintf (name, "%s%d", ARGNAME, num); /* default name of argument */
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That buffer overrun is for the case where the .x file declares a
program with a million arguments. The strcpy two lines above can
generate a buffer overrun much more simply for a long argument name.
The limit on length of line read by rpcgen (MAXLINESIZE == 1024)
provides a bound on the buffer size needed, so this patch just changes
the buffer size to MAXLINESIZE to avoid both possible buffer
overruns. A testcase is added that rpcgen does not crash with a
500-character argument name, where it previously crashed.
It would not at all surprise me if there are many other ways of
crashing rpcgen with either valid or invalid input; fuzz testing would
likely find various such bugs, though I don't think they are that
important to fix (rpcgen is not that likely to be used with untrusted
.x files as input). (As well as fuzz-findable bugs there are probably
also issues when various int variables get overflowed on very large
input.) The test infrastructure for rpcgen-not-crashing tests would
need extending if tests are to be added for cases where rpcgen should
produce an error, as opposed to cases where it should succeed.
Tested for x86_64 and x86.
[BZ #20790]
* sunrpc/rpc_parse.c (get_prog_declaration): Increase buffer size
to MAXLINESIZE.
* sunrpc/bug20790.x: New file.
* sunrpc/Makefile [$(run-built-tests) = yes] (rpcgen-tests): New
variable.
[$(run-built-tests) = yes] (tests-special): Add $(rpcgen-tests).
[$(run-built-tests) = yes] ($(rpcgen-tests)): New rule.
