The line src/phyp/phyp_driver.c:427 was crashing by buffer overflow

This analysis doesn't make sense to me. On the one hand, you say that
the function was crashing if the return from the command wasn't<= 10
bytes long (implying that it sometimes was longer), on the other hand,
you say that part of the solution is to change the code to only handle
4 bytes (you forgot about the trailing NULL there, BTW - should have
been 3), because you'll never get more than that.
I'm sorry. My bad here. The lssyscfg (with the correct parameters and
greps) will return something like this:
5
4
6
7
10
1
143
These are the LPAR IDs. Each line cannot be bigger than 3 characters (+1
for '\n'). So, I just allocate 4 bytes to hold these values, one at a
time and memset it with zeros. If there's an error, there will be a
single line with the error message, like this one:
"HSCL8018 The managed system rico was not found."
IMO the best choice is to loop in the result and if I can't find a '\n'
after 3 character, I return an error. My mistake was to check the entire
string returned from exec. My bad, sorry.
I think this patch is much clearer on what the problem is.
Thanks for the comments!
