如何防止asprintf写入堆上的变量?

标签: c pointers heap-corruption asprintf

我正在使用asprintf动态分配内存并加载字符串以存储有关工作目录中文件的信息。

在函数parse_entry的第273次(完全一致地)调用中,此行被执行:file->filename_len = asprintf(&file->filename, "%s", entry->d_name);并覆盖files[0]指向的结构。

当我按行运行第273次迭代时,这是gdb的输出:

在执行上述行之前

p *files[0]
{filename = 0x60b8f0 ".", filename_len = 1, user = 0x60b8b0 "root", user_len = 4}

执行后:

p *files[0]
{filename = 0x746e6175716d7070 <Address 0x746e6175716d7070 out of bounds>, 
filename_len = 6340608, user = 0x60c080 "\260\300`", user_len = 70433}

代码附后。请注意,这是演示我遇到的问题的最小例子。

如何防止这种情况发生?

在重新分配您的files数组后,您正在取消分配它。自files == tmp {因为您刚刚将tmp分配给files)后,您对free(tmp)的调用释放了files指向的内存。因此,files是指向释放内存的悬空指针。该内存可能会在以后重复用于其中一个单独文件的filename
