Right, and that's also what that commit's description says remains as
non-conforming behavior.

I'm not the maintainer here, but to me it looks mostly okay.

I'm afraid you may neither convert a field width of zero to -1 here,
nor convert a field width of 1 to zero (unlimited).

I'd also like to note that the 'u' and 'x' format characters also accept
a sign as per the standard, but that's an orthogonal issue which you
may or may not want to address at the same time.

Don't use sscanf(3), it is misdesigned.


[PATCH RFC] sscanf: Fix integer overflow with sscanf field width

2019-05-23 Thread Fredrik Noring
Hi,

This fixes 53809751ac23 ("sscanf: don't ignore field widths for numeric
conversions"). sscanf overflows integers with simple strings such as dates.
As an example, consider

r = sscanf("20190523123456", "%4d%2d%2d%2d%2d%2d",
&year, &month, &day,
&hour, &minute, &second);

pr_info("%d %04d-%02d-%2d %02d:%02d:%02d\n",
r,
year, month, day,
hour, minute, second);

On a 32-bit machine this prints

6 -05-23 12:34:56

where the year is zero, and not 2019 as expected. The reason is that sscanf
attempts to read 20190523123456 as a whole integer and then divide it with
10^10 to obtain 2019, which obviously fails. Of course, 64-bit machines fail
similarly on longer numerical strings.

I'm offering a simple patch to correct this below. The idea is to have a
variant of _parse_integer() called _parse_integer_end(), with the ability
to stop consuming digits. The functions

simple_{strtol,strtoll,strtoul,strtoull}()

now have the corresponding

sscanf_{strtol,strtoll,strtoul,strtoull}()

taking a field width into account. There are some code duplication issues
etc. so one might consider making more extensive changes than these.

What are your thoughts?

Fredrik
