memalign() may fail #2 #126
Comments

changed the title
On some systems (though not Linux-based systems) an attempt to free() results from memalign() may fail. This may, on a few systems, be exploitable. Also note that memalign() may not check that the boundary parameter is correct (CWE-676). Use posix_memalign instead (defined in POSIX's 1003.1d). Don't switch to valloc(); it is marked as obsolete in BSD 4.3, as legacy in SUSv2, and is no longer defined in SUSv3. In some cases, malloc()'s alignment may be sufficient.
