My guess is that a strcpy() or the like is used without checking that no more bytes are copied than the size of the destination area. >How-To-Repeat: Create a group on an NIS server with a very, very long line. On the FreeBSD client, add the "+" magic cookie into the "/etc/groups" file. Now try to log into the system. In this case, the offending groups line is about 850 bytes long. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: Responsible-Changed-From-To: freebsd-bugs->wpaul Responsible-Changed-By: pst Responsible-Changed-When: Thu Feb 8 11:43:43 PST 1996 Responsible-Changed-Why: YO (oops,,, YP) From: Rod Taylor To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, scotte@center.uscs.com Cc: Subject: Re: bin/786: Problem with NIS and large group maps Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2000 22:49:09 -0500 Hey.. is this fixed yet :) -- Rod Taylor microsoft: where do you want to go today? linux: where do you want to go tomorrow?
