TODO: - Apply the fix for the overflow when outputing an error message where strlen of the strerror(*) string is saved in strerr_len and used in a signed addition. But the error string could in theory be very large => overflow The fix was applied to the regular busybox tasks with this command: for file in $(grep -l bb_verror_msg c/busybox-1.22.0/*); do if [[ $file != *"false-valid-deref"* ]]; then cp $file $(echo $file | perl -pe "s/(.*?_)(.*)(\..*)/\1false-no-overflow\3/g"); fi perl -0777pi -e "s/(applet_len;\n )(signed int strerr_len;\n)/\1un\2/g" $file; done It still needs to be applied to the tasks in this folder! Note: This list is not exhaustive. Finishing all to-dos in this file does not imply that the tasks can be moved out of the todo folder!
