[libvirt] [PATCH 2/2] qemu: Fix off-by-one error while unescaping monitor strings

While unescaping the commands the commands passed through to the monitor function qemuMonitorUnescapeArg() initialized lenght of the input string to strlen()+1 which is fine for alloc but not for iteration of the string. This patch fixes the off-by-one error and drops the pointless check for a single trailing slash that is automaticaly handled by the default branch of switch. --- src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c | 11 +++-------- 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c b/src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c index 7084c68..007e7b9 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c @@ -161,20 +161,15 @@ char *qemuMonitorUnescapeArg(const char *in) { int i, j; char *out; - int len = strlen(in) + 1; + int len = strlen(in); char next; - if (VIR_ALLOC_N(out, len) < 0) + if (VIR_ALLOC_N(out, len + 1) < 0) return NULL; for (i = j = 0; i < len; ++i) { next = in[i]; if (in[i] == '\\') { - if (len < i + 1) { - /* trailing backslash shouldn't be possible */ - VIR_FREE(out); - return NULL; - } ++i; switch(in[i]) { case 'r': @@ -188,7 +183,7 @@ char *qemuMonitorUnescapeArg(const char *in) next = in[i]; break; default: - /* invalid input */ + /* invalid input (including trailing '\' at end of in) */ VIR_FREE(out); return NULL; } -- 1.7.8.6
