Subject: Fixes to non-hash formats
I have placed a new patch onto the wiki (0006). This has several things in
it (all are non-hash related).
Fixed memory leaks in a couple formats. The PDF still keeps 5 strings
allocated, but it is just the last set of data run. There was no good way to
clean this up in the end of a run. The fix was to properly free things up,
prior to reallocation during the run. This was a reported bug, from the
recent contest.
Fixed a memory read problem in pdf (and a memory leak). The salt was
allocating a buffer the size of the data, but john always reads the data of
the size listed in the format. The fix was to have a static buffer, of
proper size. This fixes both issues (the leak, and the memory reading
problem). This was one of the main reasons I had commented this out for
MSVC. In debugging mode, I was getting crashes, and at the time did not have
time to research why. After fixing this to be a large enough buffer, this
problem goes away.
Removed the #ifndef _MSC_VER stuff around the non-formats in john.c, so
these now again works for me in MSVC.
Created a stdbool.h (similar to the stdint.h we already have), so that
systems without it will work properly. This was an issue on sparc and VC,
and I think MinGW.
Moved all variable declarations to the start of the block of code
(portability issue)
Jim.
