Subject: bug#17334: 24.3; Crash in cmdproxy.exe
Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2014 23:58:57 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <53588C01.9070406@taggedtype.net> (raw)
There is a "bug" in cmdproxy.exe which should never happen, but does
anyway. In make_absolute, there is the following code:
strncpy(dir, path, p - path);
dir[p - path] = '\0';
If p-path > sizeof(dir), a buffer overrun occurs.
I came across this problem because I accidentally used ':' as a
separator when constructing the PATH variable in Emacs.
Thanks,
Sohail
