--- Comment #3 from jhow...@alumni.utexas.net --- Unfortunately I don't have a working FreeBSD environment to use. This patch came about because I pulled down the qsort code for a separate project (just needed a good implementation to tinker with) and noticed the potential for the recursion to be exploited using crafted sort data. Can you point me to a reference on how to run the tests you mentioned? I'll work on finding a FreeBSD VM I can use, and/or code to generate sort data that breaks the existing qsort implementation. That at least proves there's an issue. Since the kernel also uses the same implementation, if someone could find a way to pass crafted sort data to the kernel version, I'd imagine there could be security implications. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
