c++.command-line - problems with sscanf : small example

reply C <dont respond.com> writes:
#include <stdio.h>

int main () {

         char* url =3D "http://www.google.com";
         char proto[4096];
         char path[4096];
         printf("%d\n",sscanf(url, "%64[^:]:%[^\n]",
                            proto,
                            path));

         puts(proto);
         puts(path);
}


Expected output is

2
http
//www.google.com

Actual output is one new line.

Thanks!

Thanks, I'll check it out. BTW, if that code appears in libcurl, it looks to
me like an exploitable buffer overflow problem.

It is a bug in sscanf, fixed now.

Nah that was just a small example, they dynamically allocate space for =

path.

Awesome! When can we download an update ?

those are defined as

The same error message is generated wether CURL_ISOCPP is defined or not=

Its used like


typedef enum {

to. =

*/
   CINIT(FILE, OBJECTPOINT, 1),

   /* The full URL to get/put */
   CINIT(URL,  OBJECTPOINT, 2),

   /* Port number to connect to, if other than default. */
   CINIT(PORT, LONG, 3),

   /* Name of proxy to use. */
   CINIT(PROXY, OBJECTPOINT, 4),

   /* "name:password" to use when fetching. */
   CINIT(USERPWD, OBJECTPOINT, 5),

   /* "name:password" to use with proxy. */
   CINIT(PROXYUSERPWD, OBJECTPOINT, 6),

...

and


typedef enum {
   CFINIT(COPYNAME),
   CFINIT(PTRNAME),
   CFINIT(NAMELENGTH),
   CFINIT(COPYCONTENTS),
   CFINIT(PTRCONTENTS),
