Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Problem printing string with embedded NULL character: msg#00022

apache.logging.log4cxx.user

Subject: Problem printing string with embedded NULL character

Hi,

Printing a string with embedded NULL character causes
MbstowcsCharsetDecoder::decode to go into an infinite loop trying to
consume that character.

Test case below:
------
#include <iostream>
#include <log4cxx/basicconfigurator.h>

using namespace log4cxx;

int main() {
BasicConfigurator::configure();
std::string badStr;

badStr.append("hello");
badStr.append(1, '\0');
badStr.append("world");
LOG4CXX_ERROR(Logger::getRootLogger(), badStr);

return 0;
}
---------

Fixed with this patch:
---
Index: src/charsetdecoder.cpp
===================================================================
--- src/charsetdecoder.cpp (revision 390980)
+++ src/charsetdecoder.cpp (working copy)
@@ -178,6 +178,12 @@
stat = append(out, buf);
in.position(in.position() + converted);
}
+
+ if (in.remaining() > 0 && (src == 0)) {
+ // Found embedded NULL in string
+ stat = APR_BADARG;
+ break;
+ }
}
return stat;
}
----

Can someone merge this into the log4cxx trunk? Please let me know if I
need to provide more info.

Thanks,
Venkat
