[-Wsizeof-pointer-memaccess] memset(ctx, 0, sizeof(ctx)); /* In case it's sensitive */ ctx is a pointer to a structure, so the code should use the size of the structure and not the size of the pointer when it tries to clear the structure, similar to how it got fixed upstream back in 2009: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/util-linux/util-linux.git/commit/lib/md5.c?id=6596057175c6ed342dc20e85eae8a42eb29b629f Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard --- diff --git a/package/x11r7/mcookie/mcookie.c b/package/x11r7/mcookie/mcookie.c index 902d92fc47..3c38f6f3b3 100644 --- a/package/x11r7/mcookie/mcookie.c +++ b/package/x11r7/mcookie/mcookie.c @@ -204,7 +204,7 @@ void MD5Final(unsigned char digest[16], struct MD5Context *ctx) MD5Transform(ctx->buf, (uint32 *) ctx->in); byteReverse((unsigned char *) ctx->buf, 4); memcpy(digest, ctx->buf, 16); - memset(ctx, 0, sizeof(ctx)); /* In case it's sensitive */ + memset(ctx, 0, sizeof(*ctx)); /* In case it's sensitive */ } /* The four core functions - F1 is optimized somewhat */
