https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D245476 Bug ID: 245476 Summary: config(8) line parsing fragile Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: kevans@freebsd.org get_word and get_quoted_word, at the very least, are currently quite fragil= e -- they're expecting short subjects, which won't necessarily be the case. This= can be easily seen by reverting the parts of r359689 that doubled the line buff= er sizes and observing the new output to stderr as it tries to parse too long = of lines. Previously, we just clobbered memory past the line buffer and did the wrong thing. r359689 was just a band-aid, though -- these sizes will need adjusted as ne= eds change and randomly blow up on valid config bits. It would be nicer/more developer friendly to be more dynamic here. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
