Fixed In Version: curl-7.19.7-43.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, the code examples installed by the libcurl-devel package used a wrong data type for sockets when calling the curl_easy_getinfo() function. This resulted in stack smashing on some architectures because the API defines its own data type (of different size) for sockets. The examples have been fixed to use the correct data type for sockets, so the stack smashing no longer happens.

Description Leonard den Ottolander 2013-08-14 17:12:51 EDT 
Description of problem:

The example /usr/share/doc/libcurl-devel-7.19.7/sendrecv.c uses a parameter sockfd of type int in the call to curl_easy_getinfo() where it should use a long. This causes a bufferoverflow that makes the binary fail if no optimization is used for its compilation.

Because the resulting binary seems to work correctly when optimization is used I mistakenly suspected gcc to be the cause of this issue (bug #996793).

The issue seems to be fixed upstream.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libcurl-devel-7.19.7-37
