Backport of: From 5e5f75a77e399c638be66d74e5daa8caeb433e00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Philip Withnall Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2021 13:30:52 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 01/11] gstrfuncs: Add internal g_memdup2() function MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This will replace the existing `g_memdup()` function for use within GLib. It has an unavoidable security flaw of taking its `byte_size` argument as a `guint` rather than as a `gsize`. Most callers will expect it to be a `gsize`, and may pass in large values which could silently be truncated, resulting in an undersize allocation compared to what the caller expects. This could lead to a classic buffer overflow vulnerability for many callers of `g_memdup()`. `g_memdup2()`, in comparison, takes its `byte_size` as a `gsize`. Spotted by Kevin Backhouse of GHSL. In GLib 2.68, `g_memdup2()` will be a new public API. In this version for backport to older stable releases, it’s a new `static inline` API in a private header, so that use of `g_memdup()` within GLib can be fixed without adding a new API in a stable release series.
