Subject: [PATCH 1/2] url: do not read past end of buffer
Date: Mon,  3 Jun 2019 13:45:25 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190603204526.7723-2-matvore@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190603204526.7723-1-matvore@google.com>

url_decode_internal could have been tricked into reading past the length
of the **query buffer if there are fewer than 2 characters after a % (in
a null-terminated string, % would have to be the last character).
Prevent this from happening by checking len before decoding the %
sequence.
