commit 17458a87d73f605fe6a4bb3c23cf2de135eec99c Author: Tobias Stoeckmann tobias@stoeckmann.org Date: Mon Jun 24 22:08:49 2019 +0200
Prevent UB on signed overflow.
Overflowing a signed integer in C is an undefined behaviour. It is possible to trigger this undefined behaviour in tor_asprintf on Windows or systems lacking vasprintf.
On these systems, eiter _vscprintf or vsnprintf is called to retrieve the required amount of bytes to hold the string. These functions can return INT_MAX. The easiest way to recreate this is the use of a specially crafted configuration file, e.g. containing the line:
FirewallPorts AAAAA<in total 2147483610 As>
This line triggers the needed tor_asprintf call which eventually leads to an INT_MAX return value from _vscprintf or vsnprintf.
The needed byte for \0 is added to the result, triggering the overflow and therefore the undefined behaviour.
Casting the value to size_t before addition fixes the behaviour.
