Subject: [PATCH v3 4/5] pcapng: avoid using alloca()
Date: Wed, 8 Nov 2023 10:35:56 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231108183557.381955-5-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20231108183557.381955-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
The function alloca() like VLA's has problems if the caller
passes a large value. Instead use a fixed size buffer (4K)
which will be more than sufficient for the info related blocks
in the file. Add bounds checks as well.
