Subject: overflow() at stdlib.h
Team,
File: stdlib.h#L:113
i.e
char *realpath (const char *__restrict, char *__restrict);
According to the documentation of realpath() the output buffer needs to be
at least of size PATH_MAX specifying output buffers large enough to handle
the maximum-size possible result from path manipulation functions. (In that
instance, buf's size comes from uv__fs_pathmax_size(). That function
attempts to use pathconf(path, _PC_PATH_MAX) as noted in the realpath(3)
docs)
But over here uv__fs_pathmax_size() nor pathconf(path, _PC_PATH_MAX) is
used.
Passing an inadequately-sized output buffer to a path manipulation function
can result in a buffer overflow. Such functions include realpath()
readlink() PathAppend() and others.
Request team to have a look and validate.
Thank you
