During coverity scan, there are reported four issues with unbounded source buffer for each usage of input arg directly with syslog function. Sample coverity test report for chsh.c file: 1. string_size_argv: argv contains strings with unknown size. int main (int argc, char **argv) [...] 4. var_assign_var: Assigning: user = argv[optind]. Both are now tainted. user = argv[optind]; [...] CID 5771784: (shadow-maint#1 of 1): Unbounded source buffer (STRING_SIZE) 15. string_size: Passing string user of unknown size to syslog. SYSLOG ((LOG_INFO, "changed user '%s' shell to '%s'", user, loginsh)); Similar issue is reported three times more: File: chfn.c, function: main, variable: user File: passwd.c, function: main, variable: name File: newgrp.c, function: main, variable: group This commit is the first approach to fix the reported issues. The proposed changes add conditions, which verify the user and group names arguments, including their sizes. This will not fix the coverity reports, but the change causes that they are irrelevant and could be ignored.
