This potentially breaks on systems where PATH_MAX is bigger than +HAL_PATH_MAX (which was 512 until now). + +Since we can't use PATH_MAX directly (due to platforms like GNU/Hurd, which +apparently don't have it), just bump HAL_PATH_MAX to 4096 (as PATH_MAX is on +Linux), to avoid potential buffer overflows and also fix hal on Linux when +enabling FORTIFY in gcc. + +https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25888 +--- +diff --git a/hald/util.h b/hald/util.h +index c2a1584..7883333 100644 +--- a/hald/util.h ++++ b/hald/util.h +@@ -38,7 +38,7 @@ + #endif + + #define HAL_NAME_MAX 256 +-#define HAL_PATH_MAX 512 ++#define HAL_PATH_MAX 4096 + + gboolean hal_util_remove_trailing_slash (gchar *path); + +-- +cgit v0.8.3-6-g21f6 |
