Subject: Bug in vsprintf.c - vsscanf()
Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2003 21:44:09 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <52C85426D39B314381D76DDD480EEE0CFC6983@blr-m3-msg.wipro.com> (raw)
Hi,
There appears to be a bug in vsprintf.c
The function vsscanf (if I'm correct) is the kernel mode equivalent of user mode sscanf.
If one tries to read a hex string using the format "%x" it returns an error if the read buffer contains any character other than 0-9.
I believe the culprit lies on line 640 of vsprintf.c
It should be "isxdigit" instead of "isdigit".
Hope I'm not missing anything here :)
Ramit.
