>Confidential: no
>Severity: non-critical

Any.
>Description:
The -n number option to /usr/bin/strings is not implemented correctly. Any
attempt to specify a number generates an error.
>How-To-Repeat:
specify the -n option to strings :
# strings -n 10 /kernel |more
>Fix:
In /usr/src/usr.bin/strings/strings.c, add the marked lines :
+ if (minlen < 1)
+ {
if (minlen == -1)
minlen = DEF_LEN;
else {
(void)fprintf(stderr, "strings: length less than 1\n"!);
exit(1);
}
+ }
