Sure, removing such safety checks is only a trick to make deeper fuzzing
easier. After something interesting is found one has to check if it's
applicable to the non-modified program. If a genuine bug is found
usually it's easy to modify the sample to be acceptable the non-modified
program.
That was an easy part, now a bit more tricky one:-) There is a crash in
7z format if you raise LINE_BUFFER_SIZE to, say, 1000000:
$ perl -le '$k = 300000; print q{$7z$0$1$$$$$0$}, $k, q{$0$}, q{1} x ($k
* 2)' > test.pw
$ ./run/john test.pw
Loaded 1 password hash (7z, 7-Zip [SHA256 AES 32/64])
Will run 4 OpenMP threads
Note: This format may emit false positives, so it will keep trying even
after
finding a possible candidate.
Press 'q' or Ctrl-C to abort, almost any other key for status
Segmentation fault
Is this a genuine bug in your opinion?
On a related note, I think it would be nice to drop most lengths from
hashes. An attached patch both fixes the crash and ignores the data
length recorded in the hash (as a first step in this direction).
