Fix CVE-2008-2149: buffer overflows by limiting the length of the string in sprintf format string Closes: #481186 (CVE-2008-2149) Please note: The WordNet code contains several other occurences of potentially exploitable functions like strcpy()/strcat()/... and so even if there are no known exploits the code needs a full security audit. --- a/src/wn.c +++ b/src/wn.c @@ -206,7 +206,8 @@ static int searchwn(int ac, char *av[]) outsenses += do_search(av[1], optptr->pos, optptr->search, whichsense, optptr->label); } else { - sprintf(tmpbuf, "wn: invalid search option: %s\n", av[j]); + /* Fix CVE-2008-2149: buffer overflows Andreas Tille */ + sprintf(tmpbuf, "wn: invalid search option: %.200s\n", av[j]); display_message(tmpbuf); errcount++; } o-scripts Wojtek's customized Guix

2023-11-05tests: Honor system and target when lowering <system-test>....* gnu/tests.scm (compile-system-test): Wrap ‘system-test-value’ call in ‘mparameterize’. Change-Id: I4be28913a86f43059b0886ad2fcf81a9c699b730 Ludovic Courtès
2023-04-21tests: Fork and exec a new Guile for the marionette REPL....By merely forking PID 1, details from PID 1 (shepherd) would leak into the marionette process, such as the set of modules in scope and state inherited from the shepherd process (<service> instances, fibers, etc.). Running a fresh Guile instance avoids that. * gnu/tests.scm (marionette-program): New procedure. (marionette-shepherd-service): Change 'start' to use 'make-forkexec-constructor', and run the result of 'marionette-program'. Ludovic Courtès
