| |
The return value of is_arm_mapping_symbol() is unpredictable when "$" is passed in.
strchr(3) says: The strchr() and strrchr() functions return a pointer to the matched character or NULL if the character is not found. The terminating null byte is considered part of the string, so that if c is specified as '\0', these functions return a pointer to the terminator.
When str[1] is '\0', strchr("axtd", str[1]) is not NULL, and str[2] is referenced (i.e. buffer overrun).
Test code ---------
char str1[] = "abc"; char str2[] = "ab";
strcpy(str1, "$"); strcpy(str2, "$");
printf("test1: %d\n", is_arm_mapping_symbol(str1)); printf("test2: %d\n", is_arm_mapping_symbol(str2));
Result ------
test1: 0 test2: 1
