Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: adam@bregenzer.net 2004-06-14 14:31:26 0000 I am having the same problem and after some investigation I found word-list-compress to be the culprit. Specifically, the aspell-buffer-fix.patch patch applied to fix Bug 53389 is incorrect and instead of fixing the security hole actually cripples world-list-compress. Below is a new patch that should correctly fix both bugs: 30a31,32 > #define WORD_BUFF_SIZE 256 > 43a46 > int count = 0; 48c51,52 < } while (c = getc(in), c != EOF && c > 32); --- > count++; > } while (c = getc(in), c != EOF && c > 32 && count < (WORD_BUFF_SIZE - 1)); 64,65c68,69 < char s1[256]; < char s2[256]; --- > char s1[WORD_BUFF_SIZE]; > char s2[WORD_BUFF_SIZE]; 92c96 < char cur[256]; --- > char cur[WORD_BUFF_SIZE]; 103c107 < while ((c = getc(stdin)) > 32) --- > while ((c = getc(stdin)) > 32 && i < (WORD_BUFF_SIZE - 1)) { 104a109 > } I have checked the resulting binary against the checks in Bug 53389 as well as against the en-only.cwl in aspell-en-0.51-1.tar.bz2 and all behaves as expected. seemant@gentoo.org 2004-06-16 10:34:07 0000 thanks Adam, it's in portage with aspell-0.50.5-r2
