 |But regarding the logs, I see always the same pattern:

Even if your input parameter is short, it might be expanded internally
by DeleGate, and the result is reported in the LOGFILE.  For example, a
password string for -list{user:pass} in AUTHORIZER is hashed into a
MD5 string which can be far longer than the original string as follows:

  AUTHORIZER="-list{1:1,2:2,3:3,4:4,5:5,6:6,7:7}"

LOGFILE:
  **** Encrypt it as
AUTHORIZER=-list{1:MD5:c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b,2:MD5:c81e728d9d

  08/22 13:27:33.00 [23973] 0+0: arg[4]

With this example, I can reproduce the "VStr overflow in Xstrcpy" in the
authentication procedure of DeleGate.
Since the restriction by 256bytes (MaxHostNameLen) is not an intended
limitation, it will be fixed as the enclosed patch in the next release
(9.8.5-pre6).

Cheers,
Yutaka
