potential buffer overflow in setup.c

Wooseok Kang — Wed, 18 Aug 2021 08:54:20 -0000

In src/setup.c:94, there is potential buffer overflow vulnerability.
The program reads value from an environment variable and puts it to sprintf with no length check.
Since DataDirectory has fixed size, it can cause buffer overflow which leads to buggy behavior.

sprintf(DataDirectory, "%s/.dvbstreamer", getenv("HOME"));

configure: error: in `/opt/dvbstreamer/trunk':

some unitialized variables are used during epg processing leading to occasional misbehaviour. Patch attached.

memleak in cache.c

sux — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 13:11:51 -0000

there's probably reference counter decrement forgotten in cache.c leading to memory leaks. Patch attached.

string comparison

sux — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 13:09:44 -0000

there are some suspicious pointer comparisons in services.c which should probably be replaced with strcmp(). Patch attached.

sux — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 13:06:42 -0000

there seems to be some nested locking/missing unlock issues in manualfilters.c and dvbtext.c. Patch attached.

invalid free() on string literal

sux — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 13:00:38 -0000

freesat_huffman_to_string()'s return value is passed to free(), hence it should not return literal strings (runtime errors in libc). Quick hack attached.
