Backport of:
From 5e5f75a77e399c638be66d74e5daa8caeb433e00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Philip Withnall <pwithnall@endlessos.org>
Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2021 13:30:52 +0000
Subject: [PATCH 01/11] gstrfuncs: Add internal g_memdup2() function
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
This will replace the existing `g_memdup()` function for use within
GLib. It has an unavoidable security flaw of taking its `byte_size`
argument as a `guint` rather than as a `gsize`. Most callers will
expect it to be a `gsize`, and may pass in large values which could
silently be truncated, resulting in an undersize allocation compared
to what the caller expects.
This could lead to a classic buffer overflow vulnerability for many
callers of `g_memdup()`.
`g_memdup2()`, in comparison, takes its `byte_size` as a `gsize`.
Spotted by Kevin Backhouse of GHSL.
In GLib 2.68, `g_memdup2()` will be a new public API. In this version
for backport to older stable releases, it’s a new `static inline` API
in a private header, so that use of `g_memdup()` within GLib can be
fixed without adding a new API in a stable release series.
Signed-off-by: Philip Withnall <pwithnall@endlessos.org>
Helps: GHSL-2021-045
Helps: #2319
