[PATCH V3 2/5] scripts/kconfig/nconf: fix memmove's length arg

From: crquan
Date: Thu Sep 01 2011 - 13:53:22 EST


From: Cheng Renquan <crquan@xxxxxxxxx>

In case KEY_BACKSPACE / KEY_DC to delete a char, it memmove only
(len-cursor_position+1) bytes;
the default case is to insert a char, it should also memmove exactly
(len-cursor_position+1) bytes;

the original use of (len+1) is wrong and may access following memory
that doesn't belong to result, may cause SegFault in theory;

case KEY_BACKSPACE:
if (cursor_position > 0) {
memmove(&result[cursor_position-1],
&result[cursor_position],
len-cursor_position+1);
cursor_position--;
}
break;
case KEY_DC:
if (cursor_position >= 0 && cursor_position < len) {
memmove(&result[cursor_position],
&result[cursor_position+1],
len-cursor_position+1);
}
break;
default:
if ((isgraph(res) || isspace(res)) &&
len-2 < result_len) {
/* insert the char at the proper position */
memmove(&result[cursor_position+1],
&result[cursor_position],
len-cursor_position+1);
result[cursor_position] = res;
cursor_position++;
}
