Subject: fix integer overflow in float printf needed-precision computation
X-Git-Url: http://nsz.repo.hu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=70d2687d85c314963cf280759b23fd4573ff0d82;p=musl

fix integer overflow in float printf needed-precision computation

if the requested precision is close to INT_MAX, adding
LDBL_MANT_DIG/3+8 overflows. in practice the resulting undefined
behavior manifests as a large negative result, which is then used to
compute the new end pointer (z) with a wildly out-of-bounds value
(more overflow, more undefined behavior). the end result is at least
incorrect output and character count (return value); worse things do
not seem to happen, but detailed analysis has not been done.

this patch fixes the overflow by performing the intermediate
computation as unsigned; after division by 9, the final result
necessarily fits in int.
