CVE-2008-1685: Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer

gcc 4.2.0 through 4.3.0 in GNU Compiler Collection, when casts are not used, considers the sum of a pointer and an int to be greater than or equal to the pointer, which might lead to removal of length testing code that was intended as a protection mechanism against integer overflow and buffer...

C compilers may silently discard some wraparound checks

Overview Some C compilers optimize away pointer arithmetic overflow tests that depend on undefined behavior without providing a diagnostic a warning. Applications containing these tests may be vulnerable to buffer overflows if compiled with these compilers. Description In the C language, given th...
