Hello Charles, Thu, 03 Oct 2013 10:20:57 +0900, Charles Plessy wrote : it has been a long time that I have a strange problem with LibreOffice Calc: while it can display Japanese characters in the Input line, it replaces them with a rectangular box in the cell itself. I attached a test file and a screenshot to illustrate. Using the same file Gnumeric displays the character correctly. It seems that, in the cells only, LibreOffice is not able to use a replacement font to display Japanese (and probably other CJK) characters. For instance, if in the attached file I change the font from Liberation Sans (or any Latin-oriented font) to a Japanese-oriented font ( *-gothic, *-mincho, etc), then the problem dissapears. Would there be a simple solution to this problem ? Generaly speaking, Asiatics languages support is broken in LO as for viewing and typing.

To match the note recommending a solution of withdrawal, then I suggest: - If it is unavailable the assignment environ = NULL; will probably do. But these solutions DO NOT securely erase the contents of the environment. ecurity-conscious applications which need to do this should use [...] instead. Problem, I have no idea of good security practice. A helping hand, please? Regards, -- Stéphane Aulery
Bug#794947: manpages-dev: printf(3) example: possible integer overflow
Hello Walter, Le 17/02/2016 22:13, walter harms a écrit : Jakub Wilk reported a possible integer overflow in make_message example : The example in the printf(3) manpages looks like this (with boring parts omitted): int n; /* ... */ n = vsnprintf(p, size, fmt, ap); /* ... */ if (n < 0) { /* ... */ return NULL; } /* ... */ size = n + 1; But vsnprintf could return INT_MAX, which would then cause "n + 1" to overflow. (AFAICS, the glibc vsnprintf implementation never returns INT_MAX, but it could in principle.) I'd suggest changing "n < 0" to "n < 0 || n == INT_MAX". the bug is real, the type of size should be size_t (in my original post it was int) That would make the error check useless, so we would need to store the vsnprintf return value in an int. The problem is that the idea was to have a simple example and cluttering it with error checks will make it hard to read. How many people would notice that size_t is unsigned and n is signed ? (i added an comment). IMHO we should simply add a sentence that "examples are examples and will not check for every possible error condition." I agree with the general idea: the examples must remain so. They must also be correct. Tough choice! I will not put a note on this page about it, nor on the other, too much for so little. man-pages.7 specifically requests: Example programs shoulds be fairly short (preferably less than 100 lines; Ideally less than 50 lines). Example programs shoulds do error checking after-system calls and library function calls. So I will do a patch with your new corrected version that is very readable. Thanks a lot for your help.

Bug#679323: clearenv(3): implies that it's a security tool
severity 679323 minor stop - Hello Matt, I dig your bug reports about the clearenv() function. Does the sentence below would do, please? Used by security-conscious application, with the reservation that the memory is not zeroed by the glibc implementation before release. Regards, -- Stéphane Aulery
