[PATCH] Prevent DilloPlain::write() from reading past end of buffer
by 256＠256-32.com Oct. 21, 2026

Oct. 21, 2026

In src/plain.cc, \r\n sequences are handled with these lines: while ( i < MaxBytes ) { ... addLine(Start + i - len, len); if (Start[i] == '\r' && Start[i + 1] == '\n') ++i; if (i < MaxBytes) ++i; ... So if a \r occurs, skip over the \n if present. But if i + 1 == MaxBytes, Start[i + 1] is one past the end of the buffer, which is an out-of-bounds read. This happens if a file ends in \r, or I suppose if a file gets broken up and parsed with multiple invocations of the function. I think this could theoretically add a redundant line break to the rendered page. My diff fixes this. I have tested it with \r, \r\n, and \n line endings. I haven't been able to test how it behaves with plaintext pages that are parsed in multiple invocations, though. (Also, and this is unrelated but it bothers me: prefsparser.cc has a comment saying the `symbols` array is sorted, but it isn't.) diff --git a/src/plain.cc b/src/plain.cc index 0f5d6a48..e085ab19 100644 --- a/src/plain.cc +++ b/src/plain.cc @@ -142,7 +142,10 @@ void DilloPlain::addLine(char *Buf, uint_t BufSize) { int len; char buf[129]; - char *end = Buf + BufSize; + char *end; + + if (BufSize > 0 && Buf[BufSize - 1] == '\r') --BufSize; + end = Buf + BufSize; currentLine++; /* Start at 1 */ sprintf(buf, "L%ld", currentLine); /* Always fits */ @@ -181,7 +184,8 @@ void DilloPlain::write(void *Buf, uint_t BufSize, int Eof) while ( i < MaxBytes ) { switch ( state ) { case ST_SeekingEol: - if (Start[i] == '\n' || Start[i] == '\r') + if (Start[i] == '\n' || (Start[i] == '\r' && i + 1 < MaxBytes + && Start[i + 1] != '\n')) state = ST_Eol; else { ++i; ++len; @@ -189,8 +193,7 @@ void DilloPlain::write(void *Buf, uint_t BufSize, int Eof) break; case ST_Eol: addLine(Start + i - len, len); - if (Start[i] == '\r' && Start[i + 1] == '\n') ++i; - if (i < MaxBytes) ++i; + ++i; state = ST_SeekingEol; len = 0; break;

How minimalist should Dillo be?
by 256＠256-32.com Oct. 17, 2026

Oct. 17, 2026

I want to improve Dillo in a bunch of ways, most urgently by adding support for the "expires" HTTP header field, and improving the HTML/CSS rendering. I'm worried, though, that if I submit a huge patch to do one of these things it'd get rejected for not being minimalist enough. DilloNG (which is abandoned) and Dillo+ are both hosted on GitHub, and I'd rather not use that site. I don't want to fork the browser and deal with all the overhead of hosting and distribution. And I definitely don't want to write my own browser from scratch. My question is, would substantially fleshing out the layout and style engines be seen as going against the spirit of Dillo? Would it push too far against the 1.44MB limit?

[PATCH 0/2] Fix crashes seen on subpages of https://www.pythontutorial.net/
by Andreas Kemnade Oct. 11, 2026

Oct. 11, 2026

There are input type="button" without value there, do not crash. The main repo seems not to have a pull request functionality, so I am using the good old git format-patch way, so it can be applied via git am. Andreas Kemnade (2): do not crash at input tags which do neither produce resources or embeds form input: try to find defaults for buttons without a value src/form.cc | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) -- 2.47.3

The global pasta market is evolving as consumers increasingly seek convenient, versatile, and affordable food options that fit modern lifestyles. Pasta remains a staple across households and foodservice establishments because of its ease of preparation, long shelf life, and ability to complement a wide range of sauces and ingredients. From traditional wheat pasta to whole-grain, gluten-free, organic, and plant-based varieties, manufacturers are expanding their product portfolios to meet changing dietary preferences. The pasta market is benefiting from the growing popularity of convenient meal solutions. Busy consumers often prefer foods that can be prepared quickly without compromising taste or versatility. Pasta can be incorporated into numerous cuisines, making it attractive to consumers across different regions. Product innovation is also contributing to market opportunities, with companies introducing new shapes, flavors, ingredients, and packaging formats designed to improve convenience and appeal to health-conscious shoppers.
