alsa-project/alsa-utils pull request #277 was opened from rfvirgil: If *defs == NULL the realloc() will be a simple malloc() and return a pointer to uninitialized memory. Doing a strcat() to this is bad, so in that case strcpy() the string into the newly allocated buffer. This fixes the buffer overflow bug, such as: *** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. __pthread_kill_implementation (no_tid=0, signo=6, threadid=<optimized out>) at ./nptl/pthread_kill.c:44 warning: 44 ./nptl/pthread_kill.c: No such file or directory (gdb) bt at ../sysdeps/posix/libc_fatal.c:132 at ./debug/fortify_fail.c:24 dest=dest@entry=0x5555555682c0 "hUUU\005PLATFORM=mtl,PREPROCESS_PLUGINS=nhlt,NHLT_BIN=nhlt-sof-mtl-sdw-cs42l42-l0-max98363-l2-4ch-48k-96k.bin,NUM_DMICS=4,PDM1_MIC_A_ENABLE=1,PDM1_MIC_B_ENABLE=1,DMIC0_ID=3,DMIC1_ID=4,DMIC1_ENABLE=passth"..., src=src@entry=0x7fffffffe0fa "PLATFORM=mtl,PREPROCESS_PLUGINS=nhlt,NHLT_BIN=nhlt-sof-mtl-sdw-cs42l42-l0-max98363-l2-4ch-48k-96k.bin,NUM_DMICS=4,PDM1_MIC_A_ENABLE=1,PDM1_MIC_B_ENABLE=1,DMIC0_ID=3,DMIC1_ID=4,DMIC1_ENABLE=passthrough"..., destlen=<optimized out>) at ./debug/strcat_chk.c:34 __src=0x7fffffffe0fa "PLATFORM=mtl,PREPROCESS_PLUGINS=nhlt,NHLT_BIN=nhlt-sof-mtl-sdw-cs42l42-l0-max98363-l2-4ch-48k-96k.bin,NUM_DMICS=4,PDM1_MIC_A_ENABLE=1,PDM1_MIC_B_ENABLE=1,DMIC0_ID=3,DMIC1_ID=4,DMIC1_ENABLE=passthrough"..., __dest=<optimized out>) at /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/string_fortified.h:130 d=0x7fffffffe0fa "PLATFORM=mtl,PREPROCESS_PLUGINS=nhlt,NHLT_BIN=nhlt-sof-mtl-sdw-cs42l42-l0-max98363-l2-4ch-48k-96k.bin,NUM_DMICS=4,PDM1_MIC_A_ENABLE=1,PDM1_MIC_B_ENABLE=1,DMIC0_ID=3,DMIC1_ID=4,DMIC1_ENABLE=passthrough"..., defs=<synthetic pointer>) at topology.c:400 Request URL : https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-utils/pull/277 Patch URL : https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-utils/pull/277.patch Repository URL: https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-utils
