From 878d860c31f2c233aa88e86d2218c45158c07da1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steve McIntyre <93sam@debian.org> Date: Fri, 3 May 2019 01:41:52 +0100 Subject: VLogError(): Avoid NULL pointer dereferences in (V)Sprint calls Backport of upstream fix: VLogError() calculates the size of format strings by using calls to SPrint and VSPrint with a StrSize of 0 and NULL for an output buffer. Unfortunately, this is an incorrect usage of (V)Sprint. A StrSize of "0" is special-cased to mean "there is no limit". So, we end up writing our string to address 0x0. This was discovered because it causes a crash on ARM where, unlike x86, it does not necessarily have memory mapped at 0x0. Avoid the (V)Sprint calls altogether by using (V)PoolPrint, which handles the size calculation and allocation for us. Signed-off-by: Peter Jones Fixes: 25f6fd08cd26 ("try to show errors more usefully.")
