Examine the line management routines in this dir. It handles any number of lines (or queues), and returns a pointer to the line that is created. The header file (queueHeader.h) and the line manager (queueManager.c) are below.

A. Write a main driver, lineMain.c and exercise these functions to get a feel for it.

B. Analyze the code given and explain clearly any four vulnerabilities, each description of about 5 or 6 sentences. Each vulnerability has to be a very specific problem, not something general like buffer overflow etc.

C. For any ONE vulnerability, write an exploit, mainExploit.c; exploit code should be readable and well-documented, else you get 0 (do NOT crash program). D. For any ONE vulnerability, describe how you may fix it; however, NO need to provide the code for actual fix.

---------------

//queueHeader.h

/* * line Manager Header file */

/* * the queue structure */

typedef struct queue {

int *que; /* the actual array of queue elements */

int head; /* head index in que of the queue */

int count; /* number of elements in queue */

int size; /* max number of elements in queue */ } QUEUE;

/* * the library functions */

void queueManage(QUEUE **, int, int); /* create or delete a queue */

void addToQueue(QUEUE *, int); /* add to queue */

void removeFromQueue(QUEUE *, int *); /* remove from queue */

--------------- /

/queueManager.c /* * line Manager */

#include

#include

#include "queueHeader.h"

/* * create or delete a queue * * PARAMETERS: QUEUE **qptr space for, or pointer to, queue * int flag 1 for create, 0 for delete * int size max elements in queue */

void queueManage(QUEUE **qptr, int flag, int size) {

if (flag){ /* allocate a new queue */

*qptr = malloc(sizeof(QUEUE));

(*qptr)->head = (*qptr)->count = 0;

(*qptr)->que = malloc(size * sizeof(int));

(*qptr)->size = size; }

else{

/* delete the current queue */

(void) free((*qptr)->que);

(void) free(*qptr); }

}

/* * add an element to an existing queue * * PARAMETERS: QUEUE *qptr pointer for queue involved * int n element to be appended */

void addToQueue(QUEUE *qptr, int n) {

/* add new element to tail of queue */

qptr->que[(qptr->head + qptr->count) % qptr->size] = n; qptr->count++;

}

/* * take an element off the front of an existing queue * * PARAMETERS: QUEUE *qptr pointer for queue involved * int *n storage for the return element */

void removeFromQueue(QUEUE *qptr, int *n) {

/* return the element at the head of the queue */

*n = qptr->que[qptr->head++];

qptr->count--; qptr->head %= qptr->size;

}
