From b6a41d612089ddd703647aeb1db886877f58e719 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anna Henningsen Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2016 11:04:31 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] src: fix out-of-bounds write in TwoByteValue Plan 2 bytes instead of 1 byte for the final zero terminator for UTF-16. This is unlikely to cause real-world problems, but that ultimately depends on the `malloc` implementation. The issue can be uncovered by running e.g. `valgrind node -e "Buffer(65536).fill('a'.repeat(4096), 'utf16le')"` Reviewed-By: James M Snell Reviewed-By: Ben Noordhuis PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6330 --- src/util.cc | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/util.cc b/src/util.cc index 3b0278ceda..20325d0bed 100644 --- a/src/util.cc +++ b/src/util.cc @@ -47,7 +47,9 @@ TwoByteValue::TwoByteValue(Isolate* isolate, Local value) return; // Allocate enough space to include the null terminator - size_t len = StringBytes::StorageSize(isolate, string, UCS2) + 1; + size_t len = + StringBytes::StorageSize(isolate, string, UCS2) + + sizeof(uint16_t); if (len > sizeof(str_st_)) { str_ = static_cast(malloc(len)); CHECK_NE(str_, nullptr);
