From 07fae919a4474abfb55f41ed3d07bf93e74e9154 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Erkki=20Sepp=C3=A4l=C3=A4?= Date: Thu, 3 Feb 2011 17:08:57 +0200 Subject: cmsProp: don't deal with uninitialized values, fail instead MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Properly handle the return value of XGetWindowProperty by considering if after the loop as well. Using freed pointer "prop_ret" There were numerous things wrong in how this function interacted with XGetWindowProperty. None of the local variables were initialized and remained that way if the call to XGetWindowProperty returned 1 (not Succeed). That doesn't result in after_ret being initialized in which case if it happens to be 0, the loop was exited. In that case format_ret and nitems_ret were uninitialized and the function might return with success (but with uninitialized pointer in prop_ret) or XcmsFailure. As the buffer enlarging code was called only when XGetWindowProperty failed (returned not Success), after_ret would not have been initialized. It would have been initialized only if the XGetWindowProperty has returned Success earlier, but in that case the code fragment would not have been reached. This patch alters the function to return XcmsFailure if the call to XGetWindowProperty fails.
