16487 - Potential Y2K problem at mkftp.c:3221

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Anup Parkhi]

Please see the following code at ./mozilla/network/protocol/ftp/mkftp.c:3221

time_info->tm_year = (((datestr[6]-'0')*10) + datestr[7]-'0');

time_info is of type struct tm*. tm_year field in struct tm represents number of
years since 1900. So for years in 21st century, its value will be >= 100. Look
at the RHS of the above statement. It will be evaluated to a two digit year. So
tm_year in time_info will always get assigned to two digit year. I wonder how
the 21st century years are handled.

Thanx
Anup
