Subject: [PATCH] eap-mschapv2: Fix length check for Failure Request packets on
the client
For message lengths between 6 and 8, subtracting HEADER_LEN (9) causes
`message_len` to become negative, which is then used in calls to malloc()
and memcpy() that both take size_t arguments, causing an integer
underflow.
For 6 and 7, the huge size requested from malloc() will fail (it exceeds
PTRDIFF_MAX) and the returned NULL pointer will cause a segmentation
fault in memcpy().
However, for 8, the allocation is 0, which succeeds. But then the -1
passed to memcpy() causes a heap-based buffer overflow (and possibly a
segmentation fault when attempting to read/write that much data).
Fortunately, if compiled with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 (the default on e.g.
Ubuntu), the compiler will use __memcpy_chk(), which prevents that buffer
overflow and causes the daemon to get aborted immediately instead.
