Subject: Fix a buffer overflow when copying SHA-384/512 checksum from a Debian repository
X-Git-Tag: 0.7.37~4^2
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c5b5db52aebde00bdeacecf4d0569c217ab3187d;p=thirdparty%2Flibsolv.git

Fix a buffer overflow when copying SHA-384/512 checksum from a Debian repository

When parsing Debian repository, control2solvable() copies a package
checksum string from the repository into a stack-allocated "char
checksum[32 * 2 + 1]" array.

If the repository defined a SHA384 or SHA512 tag, a buffer overflow
occured (as can be seen when compiling libsolv with CFLAGS='-O0 -g
-fsanitize=address') because those tag values are longer:

    $ cat /tmp/Packages
    Package: p
    Version: 1
    Architecture: all
    SHA512: 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

    $ /tmp/b/tools/deb2solv -r /tmp/Packages

        #0 0x7f6861d7de2a in control2solvable /home/test/libsolv/ext/repo_deb.c:365

      This frame has 1 object(s):
        [48, 113) 'checksum' (line 371) <== Memory access at offset 113 overflows this variable

This patch fixes it by enlarging the buffer to accomodate the longest
supported digest string.

This flaw was introduced with c8164bfecf2ba8bcf4c24329534d3104f19da73c
commit ("[ABI BREAKAGE] add support for SHA224/384/512").
