From 5ddd382a9b8645a3c7a932554374eef2368d3f1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lioncash Date: Mon, 17 Sep 2018 19:49:54 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] kernel/svc: Do nothing if svcOutputDebugString's length is <= 0 While likely very uncommon, this sanitizes the input and does nothing in the event of the length being equal to or less than zero, avoiding constructing a std::string when there's no need to. It also avoids an out-of-memory scenario, as a negative value would wrap around to its equivalent unsigned representation in std::string's constructor. e.g. If someone was silly and a length of -1 was specified, this would make a string with a length of 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF on a 64-bit platform, which will obviously eventually fail due to the allocation being way too large. --- src/core/hle/kernel/svc.cpp | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/core/hle/kernel/svc.cpp b/src/core/hle/kernel/svc.cpp index 615b3f9116..6e1f36c142 100644 --- a/src/core/hle/kernel/svc.cpp +++ b/src/core/hle/kernel/svc.cpp @@ -662,6 +662,10 @@ static void Break(u8 break_reason) { /// Used to output a message on a debug hardware unit - does nothing on a retail unit static void OutputDebugString(VAddr address, int len) { + if (len <= 0) { + return; + } + std::string string(len, ' '); Memory::ReadBlock(address, string.data(), len); LOG_DEBUG(Debug_Emulated, "{}", string);
