[asterisk-bugs] [JIRA] (ASTERISK-21854) Long Asterisk-version strings display improperly in the 'Connected to ...' line upon remote console connection

[klaus3000 (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-21854?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=207103#comment-207103 ] 

klaus3000 commented on ASTERISK-21854:
--------------------------------------

The problem is, that the read() only read the first 80 chars of the version string. Thus, my fix only makes this read() more secure, but does not read until \n.

Thus, I suspect that the "normal CLI operation" which just read() text from the server reads the rest of the version string and displays it - just like any other text sent to the CLI.

> When using a long version string in file ".version", the presented string when connecting to the Asterisk CLI looks corrupted. See following example: the string printed directly is correct, the "Connected to" string (which shows the version received via the socket from the server) is broken:
> {noformat}
> # rasterisk
