mkid 3.2 buffer overflow buf

[Erik Damian Weathers]

Hi all.

Error Description:
---------------------
I discovered that mkid would bus error when I fed it a
C source file containing a string that was 1173 bytes long:
foo_string.c:
char * foo = "bar....blah";

This was on a solaris machine.

Digging into the code a bit, I discovered the problem in
libidu/scanners.c: get_token_c(), where the array id_0
is defined to BUFSIZ.
On my Solaris box this is 1024. On my linux box it is
defined to 8192.


Workaround:
-----------------
So, my temporary workaround was to increase the
array id_0 to 8192.


Ideas for Fixing the problem:
---------------------------------
I've got some ideas for fixing the problem, but given that 3.2 was
released so long ago, I'd like to know if anyone else fixed it
already before I dedicate any time to doing so.

thanks,

- Erik
