If we are to support preserving 'other filter' entries
in the rcfile, then the current logic setting up those
osel entries for a WIN_t must be shareable for startup
and when interacting with a user. So, this commit just
repositions this current code in a shareable function.

When not displaying all tasks (the 'i' toggle is off),
the concept of vertical scrolling has no real meaning.
However, only 2 keys (up/down) impacting that vertical
position were currently being disabled with this mode.
This patch will extend such treatment to the following
additional vertical impact keys: pgup,pgdn,home & end.
Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
This program does a good job of policing that vertical
scrolled position, ensuring that total tasks are never
exceeded. However, during transitions from thread mode
to normal task mode (the 'H' toggle) that wasn't true.
And while there was no real harm done, it did make the
use of up/down arrow keys "appear" disabled especially
if that scroll message was not displayed ('C' toggle).
This patch simply forces a return to row #1 whenever a
user toggles that display between thread & task modes.

As it turns out, the very first entry in the 'iokey()'
tinfo_tab was preventing the proper translation of the
simulated PgUp/PgDn keys (ctrl+meta+k/j). Ignoring the

entry, this patch restores the previous value and once
again properly translates these particular keystrokes.

With the Qualys security audit, we began to harden our
treatment of the top rcfile. In particular, the values
read were checked so as to prevent some malicious user
from editing it in order to achieve an evil objective.
However when it came to colors I was surprised to find
that at least one user edited the rcfile for 256-color
support. Unfortunately, our new checks prevented this.
So this commit will provide the means to exploit those
extra colors with no need to manually edit the rcfile.

Until the Qualys security audit I had never considered

The command name for running tasks is displayed by top
in a variable length field, so the increase from 16 to

where top is sensitive to length - insp_view_choice().

------------------------------------------------ original commit message
This patch fixes two problems:
1/ In the switch case 0, if sub_end is at the very end of lin[], the two
null-byte writes are off-by-two (a stack-based buffer overflow). Replace
this end-of-string "emulation" with an equivalent test on ch (and then
goto/break out of the loop).
2/ "sub_end += 2" jumps over the null-byte terminator in lin[] if the
line contains a raw (without a tilde) \001-\010 character. Detect such a
null-byte terminator and goto/break out of the loop.
Note: in the case of a raw \001-\010 character, the character at
"sub_end + 1" is never processed (it is skipped/jumped over); this is
not a security problem anymore (since 2/ was fixed), so we decided not
to change this behavior, for backward-compatibility.

That patch referenced below is being reverted because:

Instead, they all contain some minimal capitalization.
The 'grow_by_size' macro stands out like a sore thumb.
. We would need to approach 400+ million tasks for for
the 1st addressed problem to produce integer overflow.
. And a 2nd check against SSIZE_MAX remains a mystery.
Me thinks a system on which top is running will suffer
ENOMEM before we need to worry about integer overflow.

While it's only documented (so far) in commit text and
an occasional email I've tried to maintain some coding
standards primarily for reference/navigation purposes.
They also served, I felt, as useful mental challenges.
Someday I will get around to formerly documenting them
but in the meantime here are the ones for this commit:
. functions are grouped into logical (i hope) sections
. functions & sections are ordered to avoid prototypes
. function names are alphabetical within every section
. all functions & sections must be referenced in top.h
This patch just attempts to honor the above standards,
while also covering this new behavior in the man page.

[ limit of 1024 be exceeded. they do not have a role ]

null-byte writes are off-by-two (a stack-based buffer overflow). Replace
this end-of-string "emulation" with an equivalent test on ch (and then

2/ "sub_end += 2" jumps over the null-byte terminator in lin[] if the
line contains a raw (without a tilde) \001-\010 character. Detect such a

Note: in the case of a raw \001-\010 character, the character at
"sub_end + 1" is never processed (it is skipped/jumped over); this is
not a security problem anymore (since 2/ was fixed), so we decided not
to change this behavior, for backward-compatibility.
- Make sure i is at least 1 before "i - 1" and "--i".
- Initialize endpflg (to 0, as it was originally, since it is static)
before the "for" loop (the "break" may leave endpflg uninitialized,
for example).
pflgsall[] can contain PFLAGSSIZ = 100 elements, each iteration of the
loop can write 3 elements to pflgsall[], and there are EU_MAXPFLGS = 58
iterations: a buffer overflow (it can be triggered via the configuration
file, for example, by filling "fieldscur" with the "sortindx" flag).
The safety of the critical function task_show() depends on the sanity of
Screen_cols. Just copy the tests on w_cols to Screen_cols (from the same
function adj_geometry()).
Several of these buffer overflows can actually be triggered (through the
configuration file for example): in config_file(), inspection_utility(),
and show_special().
The default action for SIGURG is to ignore the signal, for example.
This is very similar to the patch "ps/display.c: Always exit from
signal_handler()."
Every time sortindx is used as an index, or loaded from the
configuration file. Otherwise it leads to out-of-bounds reads and
arbitrary code execution.
Otherwise they may lead to out-of-bounds writes (snprintf() returns the
number of characters which would have been written if enough space had
been available).
Also, make sure buf is null-terminated after COLPLUSCH has been written.
Otherwise they lead to out-of-bounds reads and format-string bugs.
Since these variables are set/written to in several places (for example,
config_file()), check them in the only place where they are read/used.
Also, constify the static gtab[]s.
If the HOME environment variable is not set, or not absolute, use the
home directory returned by getpwuid(getuid()), if set and absolute
(instead of the cwd "."); otherwise, set p_home to NULL.
To keep the changes to a minimum, we rely on POSIX, which requires that
fopen() fails with ENOENT if the pathname (Rc_name) is an empty string.
This integrates well into the existing code, and makes write_rcfile()
work without a change.
Also, it makes the code in configs_read() easier to follow: only set and
use p_home if safe, and only set Rc_name if safe (in all the other cases
it is the empty string, and the fopen() calls fail). Plus, check for
snprintf() truncation (and if it happens, reset Rc_name to the empty
string).
Important note: top.1 should probably be updated, since it mentions the
fallback to the current working directory.
With a little luck, this should be the final tweak for
our support of extra wide characters. Currently, those
characters don't always display the '+' indicator when
they've been truncated. Now, it should always be seen.
[ plus it's done a tad more efficiently via snprintf ]
