The former code allowed an attacker to create a heap overflow by
sending a longer than allowed session id in a response and including a
semicolon to change the maximum length. With this change, the parser
will never go beyond 512 bytes.
maxlen = sizeof (conn->session_id) - 1;
/* the sessionid can have attributes marked with ;
* Make sure we strip them */
- for (i = 0; session_id[i] != '\0'; i++) {
+ for (i = 0; i < maxlen && session_id[i] != '\0'; i++) {
if (session_id[i] == ';') {
maxlen = i;
/* parse timeout */
