Fixed bug 2330 - Debian bug report: SDL2 X11 driver buffer overflow with large X11 file descriptor

manuel.montezelo

Original bug report (note that it was against 2.0.0, it might have been fixed in between):  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=733015

--------------------------------------------------------
Package: libsdl2-2.0-0
Version: 2.0.0+dfsg1-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

I have occasional crashes here caused by the X11 backend of SDL2. It seems to
be caused by the X11_Pending function trying to add a high number (> 1024)
file descriptor to a fd_set before doing a select on it to avoid busy waiting
on X11 events. This causes a buffer overflow because the file descriptor is
larger (or equal) than the limit FD_SETSIZE.

Attached is a possible workaround patch.

Please also keep in mind that fd_set are also used in following files which
may have similar problems.

src/audio/bsd/SDL_bsdaudio.c
src/audio/paudio/SDL_paudio.c
src/audio/qsa/SDL_qsa_audio.c
src/audio/sun/SDL_sunaudio.c
src/joystick/linux/SDL_sysjoystick.c

I personally experienced this problem while hacking on the python bindings
package for SDL2 [1] (while doing make runtest). But it easier to reproduce in
a smaller, synthetic testcase.
