Subject: [Tarantool-patches] [PATCH luajit] FFI: Shrink container of packed bitfield.
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 15:59:43 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260720125943.2531443-1-skaplun@tarantool.org> (raw)

From: Mike Pall <mike>

Reported by Huang Haiyang.

(cherry picked from commit e4c7d8b38040518d42599eef8ddb5e67aa967a9c)

The bitfield of packed structure uses the original type size, which
leads to heap-buffer-overflow access on conversions.

This patch fixes it by adjusting the size of the bitfield container when
necessary.

Sergey Kaplun:
* added the description and the test for the problem
