Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] tzset_r.c(_tzset_unlocked_r): POSIX angle bracket <> support
Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2022 17:48:38 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <fd4a1fdb-f66d-fdea-4004-785439d1ffa3@jdoubleu.de> (raw)

Hi,

> +      if (sscanf (tzenv, "%10[-+0-9A-Za-z]%n", __tzname_std, &n) <= 0
> +		|| n < TZNAME_MIN || TZNAME_MAX < n || '>' != tzenv[n])

during testing I noticed, that the condition `TZNAME_MAX < n` can never 
be true. The format to sscanf explicitly parses 10 characters at maximum.

Longer input strings will be truncated. That is also the case with the 
glibc implementation.


Cheers
