Hi Jason, I entered a bug report for this.
Thanks! -Barbara [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: Hdf-forum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jason Sommerville Sent: Friday, June 27, 2014 8:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Hdf-forum] Bug in H5LTdtype_to_text Hello, There is a bug in H5LTdtype_to_text (version 1.8.11, anyway). If a user buffer is passed in along with the length the function does not truncate at the end of the buffer, but may walk off the end of the user buffer. The problem is in realloc_and_append which does not check the size of the buffer before concatenating. One could also view this as a documentation error, as the document says the the function will truncate the string. Jason --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
