Is it vulnerable without such an application if launched as
"gnuchess -u" (UCI mode)? For example, is it taking untrusted input of
4096 characters and sending it to the ValidateMove function that is
expecting 128?
#define BUF_SIZE 4096
#define MAXSTR 128
if ( flags & UCI )
...
NextEngineCmd();
...
ReadFromEngine();
static char engineinputbuf[BUF_SIZE]="";
nread = read( pipefd_a2f[0], engineinputaux, BUF_SIZE );
strcat( engineinputbuf, engineinputaux );
char enginemovestr[BUF_SIZE]="";
enginemove = ValidateMove( enginemovestr );
