[readline] Fix heap-buffer-overflow in update_line
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When:
- building trunk gdb with '-fsanitize=address -lasan',
- running gdb tests with "export ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=0",
I run into a heap-buffer-overflow failure for
gdb.base/utf8-identifiers.exp.

In more detail, the libasan error report looks like this:
...

I've written an assert in rl_redisplay that formulates the error condition:

which triggers without needing the address sanitizer (or even an executable),
like this:
...
$ TERM=dumb gdb -q -ex "set width 0"
gdb: src/display.c:1393: rl_redisplay: Assertion
`last_lmargin + (_rl_screenwidth + visible_wrap_offset) <= line_size'
failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
...

The basic problem is this: visible_line and invisible_line have length
line_size, but the update_line call assumes that line_size is at least
_rl_screenwidth + 1.  Executing "set width 0" sets _rl_screenwidth to 32766 but
doesn't affect line_size, which is initialized to 1024.

Fix this by ensuring in init_line_structures and rl_redisplay that line_size
is at least _rl_screenwidth + 1.

Tested on x86_64-linux.
