Summary
Fix high severity security issue in
sshfs.c.Vulnerability
V-002sshfs.c:2239Description: Multiple strcpy calls copy path components into fixed-size buffers without bounds checking. The variable 'l' at sshfs.c:2242 is a path component potentially derived from remote server responses (symlink targets, directory entries). At sshfs.c:2622, the 'to' path is copied into 'totmp' without verifying it fits. A malicious server returning oversized path components triggers buffer overflow.
Evidence
Exploitation scenario: An attacker controlling the remote SFTP server returns a readlink response with a symlink target exceeding the destination buffer size (e.g., 8192 bytes of 'A' characters when buffer 's' is smaller).
Scanner confirmation: multi_agent_ai rule
V-002flagged this pattern.Production code: This file is in the production codebase, not test-only code.
