      CHRS: CP437 2       MSGID: 2:333/801@fidonet 67d3d40e       PID: MBSE-BBS 1.1.0 (Linux-x86_64)       TZUTC: 0000       TID: MBSE-FIDO 1.1.0 (Linux-x86_64)       Salve!              The best part of BBSing is customizing the board to one's reflection & taste!       Thus the reason a I enjoy MBSEBBS so much. It aint pretty, not alot of bells       nor bling, but it is great at what it does!              As I have been off the net for an extended period of time, please forgive me        if        this has already been highlighted...               With that out of the way, something discovered today & finally learned;        Menu option 6, Show Menu Prompt will cause Buffer Overflow       terminating the callers session if control characters are used!               Reading the 1.1.0 manual, The prompt shoudl be entered into the Optional        Data       field. However, if the control characters are used, it causes the buffer       overflow situation.               The easy fix is to move the prompt into the Display field. Everythjing works       fine and no terminations...                              Ciao!        Geezer < aka phiL >        Sysop Geezer's Fido Hub                      --- MBSE BBS v1.1.0 (Linux-x86_64)        * Origin: Geezer's Fido Hub :: mbse.gzrbbs.net :: Lerino, IT (2:333/801)       SEEN-BY: 18/200 19/10 50/22 103/705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187       SEEN-BY: 129/305 153/757 7715 154/10 30 110 203/0 218/700 840 221/1       SEEN-BY: 221/6 360 226/30 227/114 229/110 114 206 275 317 400 426       SEEN-BY: 229/428 470 550 664 700 705 240/1120 5832 266/512 280/464       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 5006 291/111 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 331/313 333/0 801 808 334/10 335/364 370 341/66 234 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 423/81 120 460/58 256 1124 467/888 633/280 712/848       SEEN-BY: 770/1 902/26 5020/400 8912 5054/30 5075/35       PATH: 333/801 808 335/364 221/6 1 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
